Just because we have monow and monob pixel formats, it doesn't mean they

it is ALWAYS palettized, regardless of the number of colors, or whether
they are black & white or not. And implementing "mono switches" for 1
bpp depth for every file format involves writing a lot of superfluous
code just for this, and in the case of qtrle, creating a whole new loop
for the 1 bpp case. Overkill.

You don't seem to realize the simplicity of having a uniform way of
converting 1, 2, 4, and 8 bpp palettized video data. Why should using
monow even be considered? Less space? Not a valid argument nowadays.
There are no reasons to use it really, except for the case of TIFF with
its bilevel mode, which only uses black & white.
