Same here. I have certain expectations about B&W from decades of film,
and what I've seen so far has been a giant leap backwards. Using Wratten
filters gives even entry level film photographers a vector for creativity, and
it's missing here. I like to be able to darken the sky so as to highlight
features of clouds and/or the horizon. And the deep yellow to red range gives
you the opportunity to reduce haze and increase the depth.
And then there's the matter of vegetation. The variety of green filters
available lets you fine tune the degree of emphasis in bringing out fresh
foliage, oftentimes letting you highlight veination. For now, those parts of
the creativity pallete are gone or at least greatly diminished.
