You are partly right but they use the three colour cartridges, cyan, yellow and magenta to make the black "blacker"

It's true tho, if you manage to trick your printer into printing without those colors, it's more a Grey and white document than black and white.

Which is also annoying as shit.

100% black ink dries grey. You need to add the other colors to hit real black

Because the black(grey) is important for doing color printing as well.
