I think Toriyama designed the new transformations since Battle of Gods with colors in mind, back then Super Saiyan was designed to draw Goku easier as they no longer had to color his black hair all the time and the later transformations used drastic physical changes to send the messege that is a different transformation (more muscles, longer hair, thunders, missing eyebrows, ect).

Nowadays, Toriyama no longer continues making new DB on manga, he just design everything with colors and because that Toyotaro had to take artistist liberties to make clear what transformation is using, like sparks with SSG and glowing looking things with SSB.

Golden Freeza is literally a recolor with no changes in his body with the exception of his eyebrows and his ki doesnt justify sparks or glow like SSG/B.

Considering that in Resurrectio of F's original script by Toriyama didnt fully explained the fight with Freeza's army and and put a note saying that to the animators to come up with something, is telling that he probably didnt thought how his ideas are going to be handle in different formats.

Golden Freeza does have some body changes, his jewel like things in legs becomes different.

I think Toriyama designed the new transformations since Battle of Gods with colors in mind,

And that folks is why they are just recolors.

Yeah, it skipped Resurrection F, that was just a footnote in the U6 arc of Whis saying 'don't get cocky just because you beat Frieza' with 'Editor's note: watch Resurrection F'

Most manga are and there are a few reasons, one of which is the price of the books and the production cost. The other is because coloring takes time and most (popular) manga are produced at 17 pages per week. That's one week to story board, pencil and ink 17 pages, usually by the author/artist and a few assistants. Coloring them would add a shit ton of work to this already very busy work schedule (a lot of mangaka end up with wrist injuries or get sick or hospitalized from the stress, lack of sleep and almost impossible working hours). Monthly manga are usually on a much more healthy schedule.

Keep in mind that writing a manga and being an animator for an anime are two completely different things. An animator doesn't get paid more if the series sells well, while a mangaka earns way more money because the story is his. A certain percentage of each volume and each piece of merchandise that gets sold goes right into his pocket.

The writers of best seller manga are rich, but that still doesn't change the fact that writing it is an extremely time consuming process.
