I can read in the NYT article by Arthur Lubow "... Garry Winogrand became slacker and weaker when working in color ..."

Sorry Mr. Lubow, I don't agree
Garry Winogrand was a photographer who used colour photography when - as you wrote - it "was scorned by most serious photographers, who thought of it as a hobby for vacationing dads or the commercial domain of magazines and advertising agencies";
Garry Winogrand's pictures look "the opposite of the decisive moment and the epitome of the snapshot aesthetic" as Vince Aletti wrote here https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/what-garry-winogrand-saw-in-color;
Garry Winogrand's color photos are the result of a research to obtain a palette that's create the perfect mood and feeling of the Sixties;
Garry Winogrand's gaze is also in color, as demonstrated by many photos that would not have the same meaning and power if taken in b&n.

May be he prefer to shoot in b&w, but it's impossibile not to consider the historical and cultural context when he shot in color. And it's impossibile not to consider his desire to overcome the artistic canons and conventions of those years. To end up that his contribution to the evolution of the photographic language is also due to the images you can watch in “Winogrand Color,” a Twin Palms book edited by Michael Almereyda and Susan Kismaric https://twinpalms.com/products/winogrand-color
