Implied from what you say there are scanners that _detect_
and record by methods other than by RGB.  I haven't yet
seen any that do this, including many professional models.
Your words "way" or "narrow" I'd like to say I don't yet follow,
without starting a flame war.

So nobody's perfect but they can get along together.
