Default Uncompressed Digital Video vs. Uncompressed Digital Audio

That is because "PCM" is an archaic name for "digital".
(PWM/PDM were similar archaic terms/schemes.)


Not so. They are all more specific descriptions of the digital coding
used.
"Digital" is simply a more generic term.
It's the same as saying FM and AM are both analog "radio broadcast"
methods.
Some people need to understand the difference, and some don't care.


Thanks for making my point.
