From what I know, there are F-type connectors, BNC connectors, etc. Why can't there just be one kind of coaxial connector? What's the purpose of having a different kind of connector on the cable, if it does the same thing?

Oh, wouldn't it be nice? Some are cheaper to manufacture than others, some are simply more convenient than others, some are more specialized to do a certain task than others, some are compatible with other types of equipment. Plus, if we used RCA connectors for the cable/antenna connections, I'm sure there'd be a lot of people out there who would get this RF connection mixed up with the video inputs on their TV. As it is, I've seen cases of people mixing up composite and component, or even video and audio (my boss did that once, hehe)
