John's right, RCA is pretty much universal, S-Video has always been a "premium" feature (well, until component came along.)
The other problem is that there's serious reason to question whether S-Video gives you much of anything at all. You're still getting the same encoding (and thus resolution and depth) used for color with S-Video as you are with RCA, though the luminosity information is theoretically a little better. The only practical advantage this has for many people is an absence of dot crawl, which while positive, rarely appears outside of computer generated titles (and similar graphics), and is rarely noticeable from a distance on normal displays.
I'm happy to see it replaced with component and HDMI. Actually, I'd like to see HDMI better supported and component dropped too. It's depressing that most receivers under $500 these days have no idea what to do with HDMI, treating it as a video source to be switched rather than the primary connection to the monitor and primary source of audio.
