Because there are plenty of high quality Genesis 2 SCART, Component, and even HDMI cables (rad2x) readily available from a variety of different manufacturers. For mini din 8 you basically have to get custom cables made and you don't have access to cool stuff like the aforementioned Rad2x cables.Instead of a Genesis 2 style connector, why not an 8pin mini din? Doesn't the Genesis2 scart cables have components to level the video output from a Genesis?
The Genesis 2 cable has 75R series resistors and AC coupling capacitors in the cable, but there's really not a clear disadvantage to this so I'm not sure why people always bring it up as a con for the Genesis 2 connector
