Beyond 2m (6.6ft) without fiber, cable quality starts to matter a lot more. You are way more likely to get blinks if it’s not a great cable at 10+ ft without an active cable so do a lot of checking before you buy a long passive cable.
Yep but like you said there are also expensive fiber hdmi and even usb-c cables that come in 15' , 25' , 50', 75', 100', 150' but probably pushing it past 50 - 100'. Copper is severely limited by comparison.
. . . . . .
This hdmi one below is 50' and around $75 usd, but you can get ones that are a lot shorter like a 15' one for $50, or longer (but if you go way too long like over 100' you might have to use a power injector and it prob wouldn't be optimal for gaming at that point).

THis cable lets me remotely use my gaming PC on my Sony TV from 50' away. Syncs fine at 4K/120Hz with HDR. I tried a couple of different fiber optic cables before this (one cheaper and one much more expensive), but despite claiming 4K120 support, they would not sync with my TV. Ordered this cable and it worked right away.
