Desktops support PCIe and they made S-video out equipped PCIe graphics cards... windows 10 even supports (albeit not as well as 7 did) some.
Usb3 is already out of date. USB-c / thunderbolt is replacing it and supports HDMI, DVI and VGA outputs via plug in adapters.... what is really fascinating is that you in addition to pipelining graphics through the most recent usb-c revisions IIRC it supports PCI bus protocol...a new laptop that a has no on board PCI expansion provisions can work with a desktop PCIe card in an external USB-c connected enclosure.
Personally I'm leaning towards using a VGA to S-VIDEO/composite adapter with my media PC since windows 10 has not created good support for turning off the default overscan compensation on the S-VIDEO out of the graphics card I'm using...the card also has VGA and my VGA to S-VIDEO converter has very nice scaling features.
