Last time I brought this up, they acknowledged it was a fundamental
problem. However, it should be possible to work around it by giving the
target the same profile as the printer. No ColorSync transform should
happen in that case.
That particular problem aside, having the whole OS color managed is a
good thing in my opinion. Users should be able to get more consistent
results on a wide variety of devices.

I do wish they were more timely in responding to OS related questions
on the list, as other groups in Apple have very strong presence on
other Apple lists. Maybe the ColorSync group is just shy... :-)

It's probably just a case of marketing run amok. However, it's a poor
image to put forward considering their rather large presence in the
photo inkjet market.
