We are losing the ability to ignore device coloration though - since some activities are intended to be carried out on multiple displays at once (i.e. a phone and monitor or switch with tv display). Being consistent across devices is beginning to matter and is an incredibly hard problem to solve.
I'd argue it's completely unsolvable because devices tend to have different color gamuts. My laptop screen generally covers significantly less of the sRGB gamut than any external monitor I plug into it. Meanwhile the OLED in my phone covers more.
