I'd suppose so. Plus, the RasPi (or at least the one I looked at in
detail) is based on a cell phone chipset, which often have HDMI. I'm
guessing VGA is less common.

I don't see a lot of different brands these days, but Dell and HP
have both all but eliminated PS/2. It shows up on some high-end
CAD/CAM/engineering systems (e.g., the Dell Precision line). Not
their servers. Certainly not their regular desktops.
A quick spot check finds IBM isn't using PS/2 anymore, either. Irony. :)
