Why old Black & White films and TV seem to have better picture resolution than stuff filmed in the 80s and 90s?

Off topic, but in astrophysics…
The best satellites still use B&W because they can have higher resolution mono color than if they literally replaced two out of three mono color pixel sensors with the red and green color sensors. The fact is if you are measuring blue in that pixel you aren’t measuring red and green. so you are loosing information / resolution.
Newer satellites take three pictures with three color filters all with the same mono color pixel sensors…and use software to stitch the images across time.
