And Gracol is small compared to most large format machines printing on most large format media. If a printer has enough sway with a particular client to suggest they use Gracol, then he might as well suggest they use Adobe1998.
But that's not the point. If a printer gets files that are already SWOP, there's nothing he can do about it to enhance their gamuts. Assigning Gracol to them will corrupt their color appearance, and converting them to Gracol won't change their appearance at all.
True, Gracol has a somewhat bigger gamut; true SWOP2 wouldn't by my choice as the default color space in Illustrator, or In Design, or Photoshop, or Corel Draw, or Flexi-Signs, or anything else.
But it is.
And as long as it is, then it's the only logical CMYK default incoming space to set up in any RIP.
