There is an obvious security issue with global profiles, in that a global bad profile can lead to an unreadable screen. Think back to early Linux days and the problems we all had with X display drivers that left us with a borked black-screen system if we chose an unsupported resolution or our card firmware was the wrong version.
There are multiple ways of users configuring their devices to be unusable, even on such locked down boxes. Switching to a foreign language and borking the WiFi/Wireless connection will do it. The idea of security being the reason behind iOS not having color management doesn't hold any water to me. A judgement call about the purpose of the platform and a desire to not complicate it too much - I can well imagine that as a reason.

if that were the case, one might reason the platform would not support per-application profiles, as is reported. but then who can guess what Apple "thinks"? If ever any company had MPD this it. Edmund
