while a straight dvi-d to dvi-d cable is quite uncommon to need today, i have used a bunch of hdmi to dvi-d adapter cables the last couple months to hook up new desktops to older displays that had vga and dvi-d inputs.
I have a number of older monitors hooked up to two GPUs and use just about every modern interface and adapter to make it all work. VGA, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort. Technically it may not be the best and some monitors may refresh slower or something, but it works for me.
Ubiquitous might be a stretch for 2015, but DVI cables come to mind.

You’re giving me flashbacks to all the different DVI standards, and whatever you were plugging in never matched the type you had.
