It wasn't, but outside of the PAL countries RGB wasn't generally available on consumer equipment, and even then RGB wasn't standard because it was more expensive as a stock option, you had to buy RGB cables separately. And then a lot of people had really old TVs that only had RF, hence why that was an option for so long.
Stuff like the Sharp SF-1 (pic related) obviously used RGB though.
>why did the Gameboy and other handhelds of the time have sharp images?
Because these use LCD screens, and they're built into the actual console so no point in converting the signal to a shittier one.

The rarest thing I've got is one of the controllers in this pic. I got it in a batch of Super Famicom controllers on Yahoo Auctions Japan, only cost about a quarter of what one of these Sharp controllers alone usually costs.
