They might eventually want to see the originals, but then again they might not.
They are better off either way compared to not seeing them. It is all about availability/
accessibility, and choice. Many black and white movies were not 'designed' that way,
They did got printed in black and white because color was not available. We are making
them accessible in both formats and letting the audience choose. My phone 20 years ago
did not have colors either; it had green leds. My phone today has colors and can also do
greyscale using filters. I don't choose greyscale....
