I'd be willing to bet that those who already have existing BNC setups that want them routed to HDMI displays also already have BNC to SCART adapters running into an OSSC or Framemeister.
If AV3 is finally getting full LPF options with the Pro, then they could get a BNC to DE-15 adapter for a third of the price of a BNC to SCART adapter. If they're already using a BNC to DE-15 adapter into AV3, then simply swapping their OSSC for an OSSC Pro will get them proper LPFs on AV3, and thus a slight boost in video quality.
The OSSC Pro, with the currently-advertised inputs, would serve the vast majority of its target audience, and the minority using BNC might need a $10-$15 passive adapter, rather than the $25-$45 SCART adapter (plus an RGB interface if they need to go from RGBHV to RGBS for SCART) they need now to use the OSSC 1.6 or Framemeister.
I still haven't seen anything that indicates a tangible benefit of a BNC input over AV3 with a BNC adapter.

As far as I can tell, part of the Pro design is to orient the I/O in such a way that all cables would be oriented towards the rear, which, in my opinion, results in a cleaner, easier-to-maintain setup, especially if you're saddled with a width restriction in the location where your OSSC makes the most sense. Putting AV3 on the side and SCART on the back would result in cables exiting the sides, like the current OSSC, which conflicts with that goal of cables out the back.
