Rhetorically, you got to ask yourself, if Adobe is going to create desktop
publishing apps that promote color management why cant they give them all
the same types of output capabilities to go to cmyk and rgb output devices.
OK, we can look at this technically or we can look at this financially.
There are technical reasons why we need a PS RIP which I think are correct.
There are financial reasons why a company that makes its living
making a flexible page description language should make application
software that takes advantage of this flexible page description
language.
Adobe does not sell ICC color management products, it sells
PostScript and PostScript-enabled applications which take advantage
of ICC color management.
Incidentally, Adobe originally wanted to be OEM only and tried to
make Apple sell fonts. I'd think Adobe is now happy it decided to
make fonts and applications for PostScript workflows, but making
products for non-PostScript workflows would be ... well, kind of
nuts, no?
The underlying problem is that Apple did not integrate the twenty
person group which was originally Adobe and did not integrate the
technology this twenty person group was making, so that we now have
an OS RGB printing pipeline and an application RGB / CMYK / Gray /
Lab / miscellaneous printing pipeline.
