For many displays you can buy relatively simple controller boards from AliExpress that take HDMI or similar. They can be a great for reusing old laptop hardware that you no longer use.

I don't think manufacturers will bother implementing extra hardware just in case their devices die on you. It'd be great, but it's very much a niche use case.
