hdmi - Serial communication over USB 3 - Theoretical speed?

USB 3 has a theoretical speed of 640Mbps or 80 megabytes per second.


Does this mean (in theory) that I can send 80 megabytes of information over the serial port from my computer to a device connected via USB 3 every second?


4k video usually has something like 35Mbps bitrate. USB3's theoretical bandwidth is 640Mbps. Can USB3 (in theory) support 'video out', assuming there was a monitor that accepted USB3 instead of HDMI? Why are HDMI cables used when USB3 has enough bandwidth to handle 4k video?
