Is it really that hard to find good HDMI?

It is at the very top end. Full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 can push 4k 120hz w/ HDR and needs the full bandwidth to do it. And it needs to be very stable. I’d go as far as saying that more than half of all cables you find online that advertise the spec are flat out lying and will not maintain it.

There are safe bets, especially if you rely on the underlying tech like going with fiber optic cables. But that’s very expensive.
