Probably so. I currently have a similar problem with what I would have
expected to be a common connector...I've got a pile of 0.250" 16-14
"flag-style" fast-on (quick connect) type crimp terminals, and I still
can't find a crimper or crimp die for them that isn't in the $800 (AMP's
tool) price range. Anyone know of an inexpensive solution for these? I was
surprised to find that Paladin or Ideal didn't make a die set for these
types of terminals.

And I'll bet they need some expensive (very expensive) crimp tool to
fit them to the cable... Agreed, it's a horrible connector. But there
are not that many better
choices. Separate BNCs (which _I_ would like) would be unworkable for
the j-random-public. The coax inserts in the D shell (like the 13W3)
are not much better and are very expensive. I've been seriously
looking for an easy-to-wire, good quality, RGB video connector (say 5
coax cores + logic lines) and have not found one yet.
I think AMP makes some connectors that fit your description, but they are
pricey. One advantage of the SCART connector is that it can be
wired using a
normal soldering iron only. As can (real) BNCs of course...
Or just about any other quality RF connector...
