Could you build this?
No Controlling external displays and TVs via HDMI-CEC on macOS requires deep hardware-level interaction, specialized IOKit/DisplayServices reverse engineering, or external USB-CEC adapter bridge hardware.
What it would actually take: A real version requires either custom hardware integration (like a Pulse-Eight USB-CEC adapter with libcec) or reverse-engineering proprietary Apple Silicon display controller firmware/IOKit framebuffer APIs to send raw CEC packets over HDMI. The stack requires low-level C/Objective-C/Swift interfacing directly with Darwin kernel drivers and display hardware registers.
