The way I understand it, is because most audio people are not
engineers and they use their ears to listen. The colorization of
certain mics may distort the sound in a pleasant way and they judge it
by that.

I would use a measurement mic to record anything (if I could afford
it) and then rather process the signal afterwards. This would be the
epitome of high fidelity audio engineering, or so is my understanding.

So it seems.
