I think you miss the point of having 24-bits per pixel color.  The point 
is not that you want to display all the colors at once.  The point is that 
you can make each pixel whatever color you want (out of 16.7 million).  It 
isn't necessary to compromise by using dithering (or some worse kludge).

Some users require this capability.
