Wouldn't a simple coaxial cable with RCA plug one end and F-type plug on the other end do the job?

dont ask
obey the idiot box

I'm sure you can design something better than trained engineers, yeah doesn't need the box.

I've never opened one up, but I assume there's some sort of circuitry in there to filter the antenna/cable input of channel 3/4 only when the system is transmitting.

It's like an automatic switch for the TV. Previous consoles had a actual slide switch to select the TV or game console.

There's also converters that don't have a cable passthrough at all

L-lewd!

It's so your game console doesn't have to fight with your cable TV signal when you're playing.

See there used to be something called broadcast TV

It would. That box isn't so simple. Perhaps you noticed it has two inputs?

It's full of electromagnetic shielding to ensure that you get that high quality RF signal that you've come to expect.
