Right now, Linux just can't do that consistently. Most of the existing solutions want me to buy a very expensive color calibration tool that I can't justify or afford.
Why is that? I like to have my monitors with a bit of a warmer colour balance, since it is nicer on my eyes, and I have no need for 100% colour reproduction. I think that everyone should strive for the most comfortable colours as long as they aren't doing photo editing or something.
But this should be explicit, and the software should know about it.
Anyone should strive to have as accurate colors as possible.
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.
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 :)
