That's how it used to be but Adobe Camera Raw has not provided any updates for DJI cameras since before the P4 pro more than 2 years ago.
That is a thing, but precisely given the usual slowness and lack of updates a system has been developed to embed profile data in the files themselves.

It's interesting isn't it? Is DJI instructing it's own software on it's own quads to wright correction data into the raw images that some but not all raw editor software can read? If they are, it would be to DJI's advantage to make that data public and accessible to all and keep all DJI pilots happy. Perhaps Adobe is saying NO to keep their very large piece of the editor market very large. All I know is that for various reasons, I do not like Adobe and try to use open source software where possible. Sometimes, it bites me though.
DNG is a RAW image file. It is Adobe’s proprietary image standard that was created to store image data in a generic, highly-compatible format, unlike RAW files that have specific formats based on manufacturer and camera type such as Canon and Nikon, etc.. Although DNG was invented by Adobe and is supported in all Adobe applications, there are other camera manufacturers such as Leica, Hasselblad and Pentax that adopted this standard and use it in their cameras as their native and supported RAW file format. I don't have Lightroom so I can't verify this but has Adobe embedded lens correction data for cameras that shoot raw using Adobe's dng format as a thankyou rather than requiring a .lcp file as they do for other cameras? If they do, it's a dirty trick to bolster their own self interests. I also cannot verify if Lightroom's correction files are binary to prevent others from seeing the calibration data or in plain text as is the case for many editors that use the .xml correction files.
Yes, that's true but I was referring to Adobe's software Lightroom which is proprietary & the code is not made public. In my opinion, Adobe's .dng is open to attract customers into buying/using Adobe software. Adobe even offers a free software to convert other raw images to .dng which as I understand, many photographers actually do. Similar to Adobe's .png format & Acrobat Reader. What's interesting is that very view camera manufacturers have adopted the .dng format and instead use their own version of raw.
