Because nobody cares except color geeks. Walk into a TV store with scores of TVs showing the same movie, and every one looks different. It doesn't even occur to people that electronic displays _could_ have consistent color -- and look at all the angst experienced by regulars here just trying to get image processing applications to work as advertised.
I'm sure there're people at Apple and elsewhere who care and care passionately about color management. But it's also clear that the people who tell Apple (etc.) employees what to do themselves don't care, or at least don't understand.
Another perfect example...the latest iOS just out this week has some sort of night mode that "warms" the white point of the display in the evenings. But it's all slider driven with no objective feedback or measurements. A true color geek would at least have put Kelvin markings on the display, and an elite color geek would have hijacked the same code that adjusts display brightness and the ambient color temperature estimator for the dual-color flash to match the phone's white point (color and brightness both) to the surroundings. And couple that with something that would also match the white point of a piece of paper (with however much FWA, etc.) the camera is pointed at and you could potentially have an amazing soft proofing system. But no...we just get a very dumb slider....
Cheers,
