Generic CMYK, that's rich.
If a printing company does not ask their client for RGB files, then they certainly are not color experts. At every printing company I ran a drum scanner at, we knew exactly how to convert RGB files to "our CMYK."
Highlight detail is critical for image quality and only the guys at the plant know what size the diffuse highlight detail dots are for the press and paper being used. They also know how much ink can make the blackest black on the sheet. Achieving quality images on a printing press is a battle to keep the brights bright, darks dark and still hold all detail.
Printer's who tell their clients to give them CMYK files set themselves up for "generic quality" work. One would assume that there are no color separation experts at those companies to perform color separation. The only exception would be letting the client convert using the profile from a very well profiled press.
