There's a limit to how much Google should mandate and color management is
really a niche demand I think. If Google truly cared about this, their
recent Google Experience phones would surely not ship with over-saturated
and super-cold colors which makes white look blue!?
However, there are plenty of room for a handset manufacturer to
then pursue this niche if they see a marked. It's then up to you, as a
critical consumer, to buy that product! :)
Apart from the fact that "niche" in this case means media professionals,
it's also a cultural thing. People will be seeing visual stuff more and
more through mobile devices, and will see more and more with the wrong
colors. Now I don't care for YouTube (which I don't use anyway), but if
you are looking at a movie or a picture exhibit this makes a big
difference. It's also happening with monitors and TV equipments, of
course, since color management is not a common practice, but with Google's
lack of care in this area things will go worse. It's the typical case in
which technology for the masses damages culture and frankly it's quite
delusional that Google doesn't care.
