There will also also be artists who produce amazing work this way as an end in itself and not as a stepping stone to more complex color work. Form, line, shading, volume, etc... are independent of color. Why should photography be any different? It makes perfect sense to me that some photographers should and will choose to work exclusively in black and white, analog or monochrome digital.
