The capabilities didn't even exist until about a year ago, and they're only available in a little-known, unpolished command-line volunteer kludge that a rather talented and dedicated (and somewhat crazy) guy whipped up for himself to try to fix a seriously broken system and was generous enough to share with the rest of the world. If you think that's a meaningful answer to Adobe's inability to do colorimetric camera input...then it's not me who's insane.

No; those are separate problems, also show-stoppers. At least up through non-CC versions (when I got off the crazy train), Photoshop _still_ miserably failed many of the gamma tests that, for example, Elle Stone has documented. As in, use a fuzzy paintbrush and Photoshop does the fuzzy bits without bothering to reverse the profile's gamma encoding. Maybe you can fix some of that if you know the secret magic incantation of settings hidden behind leopard warning signs...but not all, and the mere fact that such basic correct color handling isn't the default is appalling.
Now, maybe Adobe is making enough money with CC subscriptions that it can afford to fix some of the broken stuff. I don't know, and, frankly, I don't care; I've long since moved on to solutions that actually work. If so, wonderful -- and you can demonstrate that it has by spending some time on Elle's site and putting together a bunch of demonstration images showing that Photoshop is finally fixed.
But that still doesn't address the chaos that is DNG profiling....
Cheers,
