To take a good color photo you need good colors and good light.
To take a good b&w photo you only need good light.
Let's face it, in 90% of situations IRL colors absolutely suck and don't match well together, unless you want to heavily edit your pictures.
On the other hand you can have good or interesting light in most situations if you care to look around you a bit.
I personally take all my jpegs with my camera's b&w preset and they always look so good to me. Then when I go to see the RAW files they look like an entirely different picture, 2012 smartphone tier.
What are your b&w workflows? what's the software that makes it easier to convert to b&w and deal with color filters or to work on b&w files directly? are there any tricks that leverage the lack of colors to obtain more details/less noise/smaller filesizes?
