Nothing mattered if the pump didn't get primed. RCA today would be sued by stockholders angry at what they'd see as a boondoggle that lost money for more than a decade. Someone had to get the sets out there and break the chicken and egg issue of without programming in color and product out there it would never catch on. Most countries went to color later IIRC as the fifties were not a practical time for it from a components, economic, and business point of view.
So as far as the development of a viable *system* of NTSC color RCA gets the lion's share of the credit. Marconi and Edison get credit mostly for developing the first workable systems- they invented outright quite little, mostly they refined manufacture and reliability.
