This has some value; but for most color managed users, setting a CRT level
luminance, choosing 6500/2.2 for calibration settings (or choosing sRGB in
OptiCAL), and displaying sRGB files in a color managed application (which
will have the monitors primaries from the profile, and remap accordingly)
will offer the same result without limiting your monitor to sRGB for any
other usage... such as a non-sRGB image you wish to display right beside the
sRGB one.
In other words, there can be advantages for sume uses to forcing the monitor
at large to emulate sRGB, but for color managed imaging its more convenient
and flexible to not paint the whole barn just to make the door red.
