Not preference at all. Look at television. Do you see any black and white there? No, it was obsolete when colour came in. Look at movies. Do you see any black and white main stream films? No because it is obsolete. Look at video. Do you see any black and white main stream video? No, because it is obsolete.

What it basically comes down to is that everyone sees in colour. Colour is natural. Black and white is artificial, unnecessary and obsolete. That is a fact, not an opinion.

And a photo in black and white, if it is a quality shot is usually much better in colour. Not an opinion, but fact. I have NOT seen a top quality that is better in black and white than colour, if you display both versions side by side.
