Speaking for myself, I've always felt that them sharing the same color bandanna has made them felt like they're part of their own clan, sort of like the foot (hence Leo wearing a black bandanna and armor in IDW, at one point). You could argue the different colored masks represent their individual personalities but wearing the same colored mask felt like a symbol or representation of being blood brothers or brothers at heart (blood and heart both being red). It's sort of like why ninjas in Naruto wore a headband with a specific village symbol on it. If the issue is because the turtles look too similar wearing the same color, you could either tell by the weapons they wear on their belt (unless the artist doesn't bother with that, lol) or give them different physical appearances like the Nick series did.

It's not a necessity but it'd be nice to show some appreciation for the source that gave birth to this property.

That's fair. In reality, I'm not really a good judge as I was introduced to the franchise with the cartoons and I have a sort of bias, but I think that goes for some Mirage readers as well, just the other way around.

Sometimes, the Turtles' weapons can't really be seen, Hell, sometimes they might not even be carrying them. The bandannas make it way easier to differentiate it. Sure, I COULD be able to tell who's who most of the time, but sometimes, when I look at a panel, I want to immediately know whose voice I should be reading the text in, if you get what I'm trying to say. It's just a lot more convenient and, while I do get the brothers shtick, I think the convenience is just more important to me personally. And besides, call me crazy but I really like the bandannas being different colored aesthetically as well.
