That would probably be easy today with the whole TV system on a chip, but back in the tube days it would have cost quite a bit of $$$ to duplicate both systems in every set. Maybe PAL was better (I don't know the specifics) but I doubt it was THAT much better to justify screwing around with trying to convert from existing NTSC being adopted in the US to use PAL instead, duplicate the broadcasting equipment etc. Sounds like a potential nightmare to me.
