The question occurs to me:  Does not a digital camera in most ways dictate
the color palet of the end result?  Or is that to be manipulated by the
computer associated with the digital camera?

When one buys film one can buy various types to achieve various saturations
and tonalities.  A very subjective area to be sure, but never the less a
reality.

If I buy a $2000 E-10  do I need to buy $350 worth of "PhotoShop" in order to
be able to achieve the palet I want vs, buying, for example, Portra vs Gold
and shooting them with proper exposure in my OM-2?

Yes. In addition you need a pretty powerful computer with lots of memory and lots of storage space. Hundreds of megabytes of RAM to do the manipulations. Yes, sir. Digital is just going to mow down film. Not.

Actually there are beginning to be simplifications. Plug your camera directly into your new printer and print directly, but I think you take what you can get in that situation, at least right now.
