The whole point of color profiles is to describe how to interpret the
device values as visual colors. So a tool that purports to work in a device
independent colorspace, will (apart from gamut limits) have an effect that
is not visually affected by the color profiles, but will of course have quite
different affects on the device dependent values.

This would be ridiculous - by misinterpreting the device dependent colors you
would be applying visual adjustments that differ between images, rather than
being the same. The fact that you have applied uniform changes to the device
values is not what you want, since the device values have different meanings
for different device colorspaces.
