The problem I experienced with the Applevision extension being disabled
wasn't, so much, that you could not use the external controls, but more
when the brightness or contrast controls were adjusted. You can see
the condition of the monitor change, but there is no visual reference
displayed, showing at what point on the scale of 0 to 100 you are at
with either of these controls. It's a bit like flying blind.
The colorsync monitors I dealt with do indeed have a visual reference
on the monitor once you've disabled the Applevision extension. Of
course the onscreen display probably varies depending on which
monitor manufacturer Apple decided to go with for that particular
monitor. But why do brightness and contrast controls need an
indicator? If a colorimeter is being used, then you do what's
necessary regarding brightness and contrast to achieve the calibrated
state.
