I believe the Atari 8-bit computers' CTIA/GTIA chips generate their video output through pins in much the same way as the TIA, with digital luminance and a color output, so it makes sense that S-Video (or I guess I should say "some sort of separated luminance/chrominance", since the S-Video standard didn't exist yet) would be the way to go for a higher-quality picture there.
