>No, people have different needs and set their monitors' brightness and contrast accordingly. It's only the mentioned industries which require that accuracy --- and the associated, often very expensive, monitors and calibration equipment.

Except for accessibility reasons (e.g. high contrast for the visually impaired), there are no "different needs" that dictate that people should see colors rendered falsely compared to their reference if they're not in the creative professions.

Well, that's not true, and any user of f.lux/Redshift/Twilight will probably agree with me on that one.

Or, any user of audio equalizer set to a genre preset.

While I understand what you mean (having the screen properly calibrated out of the box would sure be nice), you might be using too strong words to express it :)
