The vast majority of consumers want their camera to take pictures of people that “look good” to the human eye; the other uses are niche.

But that said, I’m actually surprised that astrophotographers are so interested in calibrating stars to the human eye. The article shows through a number of examples (IR, hydrogen emission line) that the human eye is a very poor instrument for viewing the “true” color of stars. Most astronomical photographs use false colors (check the captions on the NASA archives) to show more than what the eye can see, to great effect.
