Europe since some time in the 80s has had SCART, but the RGB signal is
probably a fairly new thing.
Surely it's easier to provide RGB inputs than composite though - to do
RGB (and seperate sync inputs) isn't it almost as simple as feeding the
signals into the right point of the existing TV circuitry, whereas to
cope with composite you'd need circuitry to split the signals out at
extra cost?
You could well be right though - I'm almost certain that my Domesday
setup (which only does video overlay on RGB outputs) wouldn't work with
my cheap 14" TV via the SCART connector when I tried it.

Most UK
televisions outside the really, *really* budget level have RGB
inputs, and have had for about 15 years...
The tv in my den here (UK) is a *real* budget 14-inch one, it has SCART
and composite video in. The black and white 5-inch portable I bought
last year (to run my ZX-81) cost about 25 pounds ($45) - that has
composite video in.
