IMHO, I would say because of the hardware, or the way the hardware is
manufactured.  To be done well, color correction must be done on a system by
system basis.  Different monitors display color differently, as do different
printers, as do different scanners.  To get all the variables of image
display in synch requires a good deal of time, experimentation and cost.

Getting back to image display in Rev: I've made the following comment before
but it bears repeating.  You can spend countless hours finessing the color
of your on-screen images to follow some kind of standard, but the standard
is irrelevant when you get to a user who doesn't know their monitor is set
to 256 colors.
