Or maybe they’re kinda crazy and used Component video with a TV screen. (Or composite…)
Or maybe they’re just not that old.

I’ve never even heard of video over BNC, and my searches turn up SCART adapters, so I’m guessing it was a British thing?
I think we were talking about computer monitors, not televisions.

BNC connections were used on professional level video equipment, if you were rich enough, you could get an extremely high quality computer monitor and video card that used those.
Older computers, especially early home computers sometimes just had composite connectors to a TV. Older computer monitors often had a composite input, but SCART was also an option.
Higher end computer monitors sometimes had similar inputs to early HDTVs, there’s a lot of crossover.
