Right - because that picker was created by someone that generally understands the issues. Alas, this is the web, and making color pickers is easy. The existence of a single, good LCH picker won't preclude [many](https://css.land/lch/) [more](https://luncheon.github.io/lch-color-wheel/) [from](https://atmos.style/playground) [being](https://davidjohnstone.net/lch-lab-colour-gradient-picker) [created](https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/969496279507778512/lch). (Yes, many of these are technically just LCH pickers, but the authors are sure to "update" them. Also note that several of those have no gamut guardrails.)

You might disagree that it's a problem, but people ARE going to be picking and using colors that are well beyond the capabilities of any device (and therefore, not the color they saw when they picked it).
