S-video carries a luminance signal and a single chroma signal (all the color information in one signal) A component set of cables carries the 'color' signal in two parts: two "color minus" signals that are the standard way video signals are sent in the television world. A TV would have to 'sort out' the S-vid chroma signal colors, but the component signals were not mixed together in the first place. Component reduces 'dot crawl' and other bad stuff.
by the way, a red,blue, green signal in a TV setup would NOT be better (except if you had a projector, maybe) because the NTSC TV signals are not sent in RGB, they are the COMPONENT set-up straight out of the TV cameras. NTSC uses the two "minus" sets as a way to save bandwidth and are a historical anomaly of the switch from black and white TV to color television.
