YUV is known as components. I dunno why it appeared on domestic

pictures to professional videotape. And really offers no advantage in

Component will also often be the only connection available that will
support progressive scan on a fair bit of kit - so is handy for
projector use.

I know that - but there's no reason RGB couldn't support progressive scan.

I suppose its the same problem as using non standard refresh rates on
SCART etc. It could be done, but you would risk damaging kit that was
not expecting it. Perhaps they assume that component connections are new
enough that the designers ought to be aware the the possibility of a non
standard signal there.
