And anyway if images I provide are screened on Mom and Pop devices that have never heard of calibration. So whats the big deal that your “professional" screen is correct and their screen is their screen, not yours.
Increasingly -- and, honestly, they're getting "not bad" about it -- Mom and Pop devices leave the factory reasonably well calibrated to sRGB, though perhaps with a white point with a higher color temperature than 6500K. They'll have far more variation than any professional would tolerate, but the average about which they deviate is "close enough" that a professional can and should expect the best results for the largest number of people by using a color managed workflow, even if the devices the images are ultimately displayed on aren't managed at all.
