Why is it only in the 7800 section?

Cause it's got a 7800 PCB.

Which means what to a non-7800-tech person?

 

It says it's for both the 2600 and 7800, so why should it not be listed in both places, or at least have a redirect from the 2600 section?

It means that it doesn't fit into the 2600, hence it is a 7800 device. Would you list the Cuttle Cart 2 under the 2600 section?

If it doesn't fit in a 2600, it's mis-named. IMO, for that reason alone it should appear in the 2600 list, with clarification in the description that it doesn't work with 2600s.
