It's just tough to convert between analog and digital signals. Converter boxes are a helluvalot more expensive than simple pin converters. The reason going from a DVI port to a VGA monitor is easy is because the analog signal is actually contained within the DVI port, so you can use a DVI-VGA adapter to just swap the pins around and make it work. VGA ports don't have a digital signal, though, so you have to use some kind of a converter box in order to connect a DVI monitor to a VGA port.
