that you deal with Apple monitors regularly
Hmm...you're right. It was one of those good Apple ideas, the minimum
peripheral hardware is the monitor (a printer is always optional), so
build them self-calibrating and self-characterizing for all to be be
able to get on board without the cost of third party instruments and
software. The VCGT concept wasn't a bad idea either.
The trouble is the UI which is not very simple, if you start from
scratch. And the hardware degaussing. And the problem with
calibrating using third party software. And the fact that Apple has
pulled out of the CRT market and now sells LCDs for the stylish
desktop.
I think it made sense to focus on the basic approach introduced in
ColorSync 2.5 while few still had third party software and
colorimeters. Whether it's still relevant is a question.
