Why can't windows and macos adjust monitor brightness natively via dDC?
Why do they not allow doing the same for external monitors using DDC? There are several apps that do just that.

How can I turn my main monitor off? Already have a dummy plug.
Try ddccontrol on Linux or https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html on Windows.

How do I get a slider for brightness control?
ddccontrol and gddcontrol works well

Making the "xrandr --setmonitor" setting permanent
If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

every want to change your monitor settings from the command line
i have always hated having to fiddle with the buttons on the back of my monitor to change things such as the brightness but now i have finally found a better way https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol

Automatic Desktop Monitor Brightness Adjustment
Before I look into automating it, I wanted to get it working first. For this, I have a tool called ddccontrol (https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol). But this needs root privileges. So I'm just wondering if there are other ways, since I couldn't find any.

PSA: Do you change monitor brightness often and hate the OSD buttons? Check if it has DDC/CI.
I would say many do support some DDC/CI commands. My 10+ year old HP, a very old Beng of unknown vintage, and my 2 year old LG all do to some extent. I can control all of those using ddcutil and vdu_controls (which is why I write vdu_controls). The range of supported commands varies, but brightness and contrast are commonly available.

Want to try TW but have a question about experimental repos
On the Build Service page, note that the maintainer (me) appears to be the github author of the package by clicking the github link at the top of the build service page. Perhaps examine the any other folk involved under the Users tab.

Is there an application or a library that can communicate with MSI monitors to change their display inputs?
Perhaps the monitor is only connected via USB. Ddcutil can do DDC over USB for (some?) USB connected monitors. If anyone needs a system-tray accessory to front ddcutil - you could look at vdu_controls (my own contribution).

External monitor brightness control
I'm not familiar with Twinkle, however I suggest trying vdu_controls available in the AUR.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ddccontrol and vdu_controls you can also consider the following projects:
ddcctl - DDC monitor controls (brightness) for Mac OSX command line
monitorcontrol - Python monitor controls using DDC-CI.
ddcci-driver-linux
ddcutil - Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB
redshift - Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.
erk - Ərk is an open source, cross-platform IRC client written in Python 3, Qt 5, and Twisted.
pywinauto - Windows GUI Automation with Python (based on text properties)
display-switch - Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM switch
persepolis - Persepolis Download Manager is a GUI for aria2.
twinkle-tray - Easily manage the brightness of your monitors in Windows from the system tray
git-cola - git-cola: The highly caffeinated Git GUI
