Scart can carry RGB and Composite. And good VHS players do RGB.

SCART carries RGB but that only comes from DVD players, computers, and other digital sources. At no point in a VHS player is the signal in RGB form - generally not even in ones with digital "trick play" modes.

It doesn't make any sense to move the Y/C to RGB conversion into the VHS player.

Never seen one which converts to RGB, must be rare. And then what do you use to digitize from RGB? Most SCART to HDMI converters use the composite video in the SCART connector.
