Mac Studio M2 and 8k screen
Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.

MacMini keeps adjusting Saturation / Brightness...
As a fellow Mac + OLED TV owner, I think you'll appreciate these too. MonitorControl to access brightness settings through your keyboard and Hazeover to darken background and prevent burn-in.

Connecting a Display Port 1.4 graphics card to the Dell thunderbolt dock WD22TB4
Most monitors have a Virtual Control Panel (VCP), which implements features defined in the Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS). This is a VESA standard. You can find the Input selection command in table 8-10. You send these commands over an I2C bus called Display Data Channel/Command Interface which is yet another VESA standard. If you are running Windows https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html will let you use every VCP feature your monitor has. For Linux, https://www.ddcutil.com/ does this. For Mac, https://github.com/alin23/Lunar

Opinions on functional & performance requirements for a desktop TB/USB4 AIC
The protocol is called DDC , it's a VESA standard. In there, it's called VCP features. If you are running Windows https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html will let you use every VCP feature your monitor has. For Linux, https://www.ddcutil.com/ does this. For Mac, https://github.com/alin23/Lunar note how all three mention input selection.

Brightness issue
I've also used ddcui: https://www.ddcutil.com/#introduction, available as an AUR package: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil. This has a nice GUI: https://www.ddcutil.com/screenshots/ddcui_features.png and works on everything I've tried it on out of the box.
