It costs nothing, and would add a lot more practicality, rather than having the scope occupying space on the bench and getting into your way.

AFAIK Tektronix has VESA mount holes on their oscilloscopes as a standard. But no other oscilloscope manufacturer seems to do this (does Tektronix have a patent or something?).

I don't think 4 holes on the back of a device can be patented..
I think I'll concoct some contraption to attach the scope to a vesa arm. It's definitely something I need.

That's a damn good idea - one of those "<slap your head> why didn't I think of that" moments.

It looks like either of these could be easily adapted to set (and strap) a scope on and bolt to a VESA mount (these are straight-up Amazon links - no embedded affiliate tags):

You can buy shelves that bolt on Vesa arms. Random Google find:

This partly solves the problem of having a small screen on the scope itself.

I wasn't able to find any information about the Instek on that matter. Any input would be welcome.

If you haven't got LAN right there on the bench and some portability could be useful get a TP-Link TL-WN725N N150 Nano USB Wi-Fi Adapter to use in the scope.
