I don’t know, I kinda like that it’s 1 cable per device. Definitely easier to troubleshoot audio if a cable is disconnected, versus trying to figure out why my TV isn’t passing HDMI 5.1 through the fiber audio output to a wireless transmitter to all the speakers! But maybe I’m old school too…
Why 3 connectors when no consumer ever mixes color channels? (mixing between sources requires external sync, which is only on pro gear and an extra cable anyway)
Why did they not decide between YPbPr and RGB before writing the standard?
Should have just adopted SCART (European connector for bidirectional A/V, RGBA and kind of CEC), dammit
It’s wild that we absolutely needed 2 cables for Audio but that one ought to do for Video.
It makes perfect sense since it is analog, each of them provides signal to a separate device. You had one screen and two speakers.

Well the good news with Fiber is you can literally see if it’s passing data. Can’t see electrons.
No, but sometimes you can taste them.
Please do not try to taste the electrons.
No left and right video
You joke but the next evolution up was literally Red Green Blue for the 3 colors to make up an image
That (RCA component) was fucking stupid.
