Artisan or not, sRGB on a Mac that's outside of a color managed application
looks kind of ugly. So all I'm suggesting is that we try and pick something
from a non color managed environment on a Mac and I suspect that it will be
closer to Apple RGB or ColorMatch (which are both closer to the native, non
color managed display Mac users would be working with).

How, outside of a color managed application can they look the same or
similar?

The Artisan has nothing to do with getting untagged files from people and
guessing what the original colorspace might be. What I am saying is there's
no reason to force a 2.2 gamma (or for that matter a 1.8 gamma) on a display
you're calibrating and profiling nor does that have to match the gamma of a
working space. The ability to calibrate to some really odd gamma setting
that's native to the display IS an advantage but has nothing to do with
getting untagged RGB mystery meat.
