might be important indeed for accessibility reasons, marking as wishlist but should be quite easy to do

In addition to accessibility, grayscale/monochrome filter is also often used by those trying to decrease their screentime and it's offered natively in at least Windows, iOS and Android with varying amount of going through menus depending on version.

I think in Android it was originally a developer setting for testing accessibility for colour blind users.
