ICC profile selection is a part of the freedom of choice. I do not see
anything flaw in this idea. Thats of course different from providing
only particial freedom like source code to a GUI without selection
options. IMO the later one is flawed as it only talkes about freedom,
but in reallity takes freedom away by making learning and customising
extremely difficult.
LGM had a big theme of "reclaim your tools". I do not see this
fullfilled by completely taking away a profile selector, which is hidden
anyway for most users.

Its good to integrate ICC profiles in presets. But we need as well the
freedom to learn things and to inovate. If thats a few mouseclicks away
thats good usability and freedom.
