Considering that you can connect several, allegedly, identical monitors
to view the same image simultaneously, and get glaringly obvious
differences between each monitor, I'm not surprised.

There's a very wide tolerance in electronics, including the actual
display, as well as what drives it.  You really need profiles to be a
measurement of the actual display that you're using, taking into account
its user-settings and your room lighting.
