What was wrong with SCART? only thing I can think of is its bulkiness.

They broke all the time and you had to wiggle them often be cause of shoddy connectivity.

I don’t remember much problem with the connectivity with SCART. I do remember wasting many hours dealing with cheaply made cables that didn’t even wire all the pins however.
Which come to think of it is now becoming an issue with USB-C cables. At least with SCART the connector could be easily opened for inspection, which became a habit of many an AV tech.

Never broke any. It was a pain to plug in blindly in the back of the TV tho.
