You completely LOST my point!
Adobe Gamma expects you to be a colorimeter.
ACR expects you to work on images just like you work in Photoshop on a
calibrated display.
Are you suggesting that profiles are the automated answer to color
corrections? If so, I think you're in deep do-do here. Humans need to make
OBJECTIVE edits on images based on what they see on profiled displays.
Machines or profiles can't do this. Profiles know NOTHING about an image
content, only about a device.
Your logic would have us believe that humans can't or should not do color or
tonal corrections because they are not colorimeters. I think few would agree
with that and it hasn't been the case for at least the last 13 years people
have edited images in Photoshop.

Profiles only describe what a device "sees" and they don't do any color
corrections. ACR expects people to alter the raw data to what they prefer
the appearance to be.
