It's not as if it's required to be used for everything transmitted over HDMI. As far as I'm aware even brand new consoles don't use it for gaming.

I have to question though, any idea what is the point of that adapter then if HDMI ports cannot use it?

Adapters Improve Functionality for Gamers: Many gamers use Wii adapters because they know monitors offer superior performance compared to HDTVs. That’s the thing when it comes to adapters—they’re best used for computer monitors instead of HDTVs. A converter is more ideal for an HDTV that comes with its own speaker. Gamers who want a competitive edge will use adapters for monitors instead of HDMI converters for HDTVs because of the superior refresh rate. HDTVs run at 60Hz or a refresh rate of 60 times per second. Gaming monitors can go up to 144Hz, which is especially useful in gaming PCs and first-person shooters.

HDCP is copy protection that has to be supported by all devices in a chain, it doesn't work on analogue connections. A component source can't be providing HDCP protected content so I'm rather mystified as to why you'd have it on a converter.As you would have already known, HDMI is a single cable that carries high-definition video and audio.
