Problem is that DVI-I doesn't fit into DVI-D ports. So we have backwards compatibility, but no current compatibility. Makes sense...
-I is both digital and analog, essentially hdmi (-sound) and vga, at the same time.
DVI transfers more than vga, which was and is needed for better monitors.
It's not exactly new, mind you <w<

Then you get dvi d cables..?
And besides, the standard is to have dvi-i dual out from your comp - and if you have a monitor with dvi-D, you're a bit silly if you get cables that aren't for your monitor.
Some certain shit might only has the d, but then you have the vga right beside it if getting the right cabling is an issue, and you need analogue stuff...
