Does “Color Science” even matter?

What is "Color Science?"

My thoughts that may be relevant to your question:

Many photographers are not very proficient in post-processing, especially when modifying colors. The way the colors look initially is important to them.

You mean they use SOOC jpegs?

No, they use raw.

But if they use RAWs they must be processing colors to their liking, right? Unprocessed RAWs look pretty flat and boring.

Working with HSL, Color Grading, and Calibration sliders to get the expected result is not easy, especially if you do not have the talent for judging colors. Dodge and burn are much easier. Still, very few master that.

In many cases, accurate colors are less important than pleasing colors.

Thats 100% true.

Depends on profiles by the Raw program, Lr, C1 etc. Same RAW file, Lr gives different colors than C1. C1 to me looks better. If one is good or make their own profiles output from all camera, lenses can me made to look at the same. I should add that I am not good in pp.
