Weeell ...not quuuite true IMO Marcus quite a number of other nebulae, liiiike NGC 6357, 6334 and 3603 for eg. do indeed have very little colour dynamics going on in straight L/RGB ...and yes, certainly, doing them in NB is possibly a way to make them more appealing from an colour/artistic point of view ...but in the end they is what they is and we should rejoice in that regardless
