I'm not quite sure what you mean. The typical gamma target is for an
ideal system that has a zero black. Real systems aren't like this, so
simply scaling and offsetting the curve for the real black raises
the level, which can lead to a poor match against something with
the same gamma and a lower black level. By making the 50%
point match the ideal system, then the overall contrast
and look will be consistent with the ideal system target,
irrespective of the actual black level.
