This is quite valid remark. However the length of each exposure could be very different, possibly too much to be practical
Of course, for BW camera I think it does not matter because flat calibration done with one colour can be used for others, only difference would be a fixed correcting factor.
Also, if RGB LED's are used (for colour camera), I think it may be a good idea to have Red, Green and Blue grouped in such a way that the colour balance is adjustable.
