That would end in a all desktop content is sRGB dituation. That would be 
fine as long as we know that wide gamut monitors are excluded, like on 
fixed hardware. Tablets could do that for their internal displays.

But I am afraid a desktop, which cribbles all wide gamut monitors by 
default to sRGB, is suboptimal marketing.
