How much EQ should a mic need?

Thinking primarily of vocal tracks, how intensely should you expect to
eq something? Should the sound of the mic be mostly "good" as is and
should need only mild tweaking or is it often pretty radically
altered?
My general feeling is never to use any EQ except when you absolutely
positively cannot get the sound you want by changing the mike, the
position, or the room.
But I don't do pop music with super dense mixes where everything is
very tightly slammed together. If I were in that business I might
be doing very radical EQ at the expense of natural vocal sounds.
Thank God I'm not.
