Of course it does, no argument. The argument is that the process of
handling the display is being made far more complicated than it has to be,
probably to sell features. The point is, Photoshop doesn¹t care if the
display is profiled to a target, it just needs a profile to account for
this, to a point of course!
Now if Derrick would answer some of the questions posted, instead of wafling
into other areas (at least answers the initial questions before ignoring
them and jumping to printer calibration, something that isn't always and
often required), we could stay on track here.

Not necessarily the case and I'll add, many of the packages don't calibrate
(pre-linearize if we can be more precise in the terminology).
Now that we've wondered down this path, can we get back to the questions:
1. How many times do I have to run your validation to feel good, why doesn't
the product provide the targets I've asked for from the get-go?
2. How can you use the same instrument to measure the accuracy of itself and
the process?
3. Can you say that the patches you measure from Validation do test tough
colors that would typically show high deltaE values (turquoise blues, very
dark colors)?
4. If you've sampled so many differing instruments, enough that you can come
here and tell us about the Spyder with some degree of authority, perhaps you
can tell us the number of each unit tested, how the tests were conducted and
with what reference grade device and if you'd be willing to supply the data
for others to examine.
5. How many copies of software you've seeded for free and if that in some
how affects the opinions of those users, since you apparently directed at me
some opinion about my lack of spending on instrumentation (something you
couldn't possibly know anything about).
As you yourself said, I'm confident you will not distort the subject
further!
