Color screens are useful, infinite scrolling is not. Not only makes it indexing much more difficult or sometimes even impossible due to lacking standards, it also disallows users exchanging links to something specific.
Crawlers would have to execute JS and do additional requests, which is not feasible at all.
Content shouldn't be optimized for the most brittle consuming users and infinite scroll should be an anti-pattern of the most severe degree. I don't know which boneheaded webdevs recommend it to customers, since it is a most effective mechanism to kill discoverability.
