Checkmate said: We are the original, in other word: we are a scan site, not a pixiv dump.
You may be the first host but you're not the original. The original is the file as uploaded by the creator. You're given the original but you don't preserve it.
So apart from the color data, I'd be opened to other reason to this.
Scanned images may have useful EXIF information like scan DPI, scanner model, color profiles and other such data. These could be used (for example) by someone who owns something scannable to see if they can upload a better version of something already here. It could also be used to spot issues in scans (wrong color profile, "fast" mode or something like that) so an uploader can correct them.
I believe though that this shouldn't be an argument for why we _shouldn't_ get rid of EXIF but why we _should_.
So far the only reasons I've heard for it are Animepaper problems that aren't a concern anymore and the potential of other sites watermarking scans.
As it stands it seems we're not only compromising the metadata but the image content itself (due to loss of color profile) to combat watermarking, which I'm not sure is a problem we're sure we have?
A compromise I'd like to propose is a simple "remove EXIF" checkbox on the upload page, defaulting to unchecked, perhaps with a message like "Check this if this image may contain sensitive metadata (your location, watermarks if rehosted from another site). Do not check this if the image has a non-sRGB color profile".
