The trouble with processing the hue channel as a greyscale image is that hue is cyclic (goes round and round the colour wheel without bounds) while the greyness scale is bounded by black and white.
But splitting the image into HSV channels is useful for working on the value ("lightness", HSV=HSL) channel alone (and to a lesser extent saturation) without having to deal with distracting colour artefacts.
