Most microphones have a rise in the the upper midrange/lower treble. Most microphones start to roll off highs around 10K or so as well on the highs. Most mics start to roll off the lows at around 40hz or so. It's a rare microphone that has a flat reponse on the extremes that also sounds good on midrange where most instruments live. The amount of rolloff a cable has is minor compared to this, and is not a concern to most engineers.Most engineers I have known do not typically tip up the treble in the mix, unless the artist or producer wants it. They do tailor the midrange a lot. Almost all bass instruments are recorded with equalization simply because vitually all mics roll off the bass to a degree (even ones typically used for bass), and room interactions.
The components that you use in a studio that are connected to Mogami Microphone cable are a microphone and a microphone preamp. These have much different electrical specs than a consumer product, different levels, different impedances, and many times phantom power and other things. What you hear when you use them at home has limited usefulness comparing them in the studio.
I would agree that Mogami cable at a couple of dollars a foot is probably not the equal of a well-designed cable that costs $30 a foot etc. (especially since the Mogami is not really designed for the consumer audio spec). But again, 500 feet of $30 cable is probably not reasonable in most studios.
If you think Mogami is rolled off at the extremes, what were the cables like that engineers used for the golden age of sound where the sound was so open and glorious 50 years ago? It's the engineer who controls the output of the sound regardless of the equipment used.
