As a result...well, if you're looking to do the same sorts of things with modern cameras as has always been done with film (and there are a great many reasons why that's what most people are most interested in doing), then Adobe's approach is probably best.
There's film and there's film. A color neg and a color transparency are vastly different in terms of the photographers control over the rendering (an integral part of photography). They are not necessarily exposed the same way, processed the same way nor printed the same way. A JPEG from a camera is a better cousin to a transparency while a raw file is a closer cousin to the color neg. Adobe raw processors and a product appropriately called Lightroom treat raws as a photorapher trained to handle color negs would treat that kind of film.
Anyone on this list ever tried building an ICC profile for a scanner that has to scan a color neg? Not the same as profiling a scanner using a good transparency.
