Aka, no point writing serious C128 native SW
Outside of games, 128 native mode was
very well supported.

Sounds as bad as the AtariST monitor situation
The Commodore and Amiga branded monitors such as 1084, 2002 etc etc had both composite and RGB modes. It was a simple witch on the front. I had a 2002 back in the day. Switching was no big hassle. Since there was 2 video outputs, a (very) small amount of software too advantage of this. You could actual use dual displays on a 128 back in the 80s.
