> Never claimed that was the case.

Whether you claimed it is not in question. You're saying "[color in the terminal] is the work of the devil", which has a clear intent to dissuade people from coloring terminal output. Which, frankly, is insanity. Most apps do it well nowadays: --color=auto/always/never, usually defaulting to auto.

So when GP says "not everyone is you", they mean be considerate. If you want color off, you're being catered for. But don't try and push that choice on everybody who isn't you.
