Not at all. They take a good film copy, scan and post process to remove age artifacts, scratches etc. Look at the blu ray remaster of the African Queen or the superb remaster of 2001: A Space Odyssey which was shot with Super Panavision 70 (65mm negative).
Colourisation is totally different and I think B&W should remain B&W but can still be remastered.
"The Last Picture Show" would be a good B&W one to clean up. A good classic - Texas small town life in the early 1950s.
