P: Demosiacing is falling behind and needs improvement

Hi there,

Maybe I am a pixel peeper, but as of 2020, my observations are that Lightroom's demosaicing is falling way behind competitors and doesn't recover as much detail as, for example, CaptureOne or RawTherapee. Together with fairly average sharpening and denoising, the final result is so mushy compared to what you can get elsewhere with just a snap of your fingers, that it's just frustrating and urges me to look for a replacement.

Here is a 200% crop of a photo taken on Nikon D5100 as demosaiced by RawTherapee's AMaZE VS Lightroom (all sharpening, denoising and corrections turned off in both). See how much crisper and detailed is the AMaZE version?



It's literally free resolution! Well, technically, the Lr's version is "lost resolution" - you are not getting from your gear what you paid for it.

Can Adobe do something about this? I mean, adopting AMaZE demosaicing from the open-source shouldn't be too hard, right? That would be already a significant improvement. Please?

Cheers!
