Why does the presence of charge in a charged black hole affect the trajectories and event horizon for uncharged particles?

I can get electric charge affecting the behavior of quarks, charged leptons, W bosons, and photons since they interact electromagnetically but. However, why would it affect uncharged particles like the Higgs boson, Z boson, neutrinos, and whatever dark matter turns out to be? Shouldn't they perceive a black hole with mass $M$ and charge $Q$ as just a black hole with mass $M$ and an event horizon at $2GM/c^2$ instead of the reduced value a Reissner–Nordström metric has?
