On the other hand, this also means that Adobe, with its

I never stated that *profiles* "can't improve". The subject in the
first quote above was *Adobe*, and the quote refers to the fact that
of all Adobe default profiles, none is (metrologically) better than
the best Canon default profile.
So Adobe profiles still can't improve on the best Canon factory
profiles which happen to be standard ICC profiles? Yes or no?
It is true that I generally prefer standard over proprietary
formats, and the case discussed here is a good example why: had
Adobe tried to implement whatever they tried to achieve within the
ICC standard format, users would now have the *option* within
Lightroom to choose between Adobe and e.g. ProfileMaker profiles. As
it is, they haven't.
And all other Raw converters can't utilize the DNG profile editor.
They have to spend THOUSANDS of dollars for a target and software if
they want to build or edit themselves profiles. They have to spend
hours setting up complicated lighting just to shoot this target. So
the shoe as they say is on the other foot here. The DNG editor is
free! Its real easy to use.
