They probably did. It’s not exactly honest, but the system is technically outputting a colour signal, and it was released at a time when that wasn’t a given. They didn’t say “full colour” anywhere on the box, did they?
Let’s call it a mix of lower expectations for the time, and a bit of marketing deception.
