I know that Arc stands for Audio Return Channel, but I cant find a cliffs notes on what exactly that means.
Does it mean its the best HDMI port to use for music/high quality audio?

Ok nobody so far has posted the right answer as to why there is ARC.
Its nothing to do with saving cables. Its to match the latency of the display screen.
A lot of screens are actually quite delayed. You gotta pay good money for a TV or display that doesn’t actually lag behind time by a 30th of a second or so.
Imagine if your audio went to your stereo (no lag) but also to your TV with crap sound, and is laggy.
