What's the deal?

Do folks prefer Fury Road in black and white?

If by folks you mean the director, then yes:

Mr Miller wrote: “One thing I’ve noticed is that the default position for everyone is to de-saturate post-apocalyptic movies,” he told Slashfilm. “There’s only two ways to go, make them black and white — the best version of this movie is black and white, but people reserve that for art movies now. The other version is to really go all-out on the color. The usual teal and orange thing? That’s all the colors we had to work with. The desert’s orange and the sky is teal, and we either could de-saturate it, or crank it up, to differentiate the movie.”

I downloaded it when it was up and watched a bit of it. It looks great but the audio situation is strange. They left all the sounds in except for the dialogue, and that was too peculiar for my ears.

I think it's my manifest destiny to NOT watch this in B&W

So they probably spent several million dollars developing the color palette of this film, color correcting in post, painting cars, choosing wardrobe and props, arranging call times for daylight, and doing all kinds of work on the look of the film for color...and it is the director's "preferred version"?

Bullshit. Just because he saw a few minutes of a B&W utility print of The Road Warrior does not mean that Fury Road was somehow intended to be B&W and since Miller himself paid for a lot of Fury Road, he likely could have done whatever he wanted with it. There was no studio "forcing" the film to be in color.

What I've seen looks...like a B&W version of the movie. Really high contrast. Images often look striking in high contrast B&W. Big deal.

This is all just marketing to justify the double dip...making it look like you are buying what the director REALLY wanted, therefore the "best" version.

Best version is the color version, as intended.
