A software scope is always going to have to run on a hardware platform, and even Scopebox needs an external computer to ingest a media stream, so you're stuck carrying another item one way or another. Plus the cableing, interface... &c.
Agreed, the internal Resolve scopes leave a lot to be desired, but nearly all rasterized displays eventually go "blobby" -- I really, really miss the good old CRT-type scopes, whatever they were doing to my long-term health. Really though, the "Vectorscope" concept itself is kind of a bit of a throwback -- only useful when you understand what it is trying to tell you, and still a bit of a guessing game as to where your true grey-scale lies... given the concept that "Black" and "White" is the same location (origin) -- something like G/R, minus-G/B is more useful (the Tektronix "Diamond") for straightening up the christmas tree.
And you can synthesize that with Scopebox.
