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.
The Pico 2 board is still using a Micro USB connector, would have been nice to see that changed to USB C.
