I would say: the same way that it is relevant to WCS. The Microsoft document
that I have read mentions a "capability for simple measurement-based
profiles with viewing condition tags that can be changed as necessary."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I take this to mean that profile creation is a
capability directly available within their WCS solution.
That is why Apple may wish to rethink its publicly-stated unwillingness to
integrate CIECAMs into its color management architecture. (But who am I to
tell Cupertino how to run their business...?)
It may be that it's time for either some bold thinking now, or regrets
later. Unless they have a "doomsday machine" hiding somewhere, ready to take
out the competition...
I dearly love using my Macintosh, and much prefer Apple computers over PCs,
but in the end I will take my color management business where I have to.
Regards.
