Adobe DNG converter does not transfer MakerNotes tags from Canon CR3 to DNG

/BUG?/ Adobe DNG converter does not transfer MakerNotes tags from Canon CR3 to DNG ( Canon R5 in my case )

but it does for example transfer all that from Fuji RAF to DNG or for Sony ARW to DNG

of course I can follow up with something like : exiftool  -TagsFromFile  source.cr3  -MakerNotes destination.dng  -overwrite_original

BUT this is grossly inconvenient... AND MORE SO absence of makernotes tags deprives /some/ other raw converters  from accessing, for example, focusing distance tags that are available in CR3 raw files ( no, please do not suggest those converters to use XMP tag like 'x:xmpmeta/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/aux:ApproximateFocusDistance' for ACR/LR that Adobe DNG converter does write for CR3 conversion case, it is not what manufacturer readily provides  and Adobe DNG converter does not consistenly writes that for other camera brands, not for Sony for example... can't blame not writing for Fuji because Fuji does not write that itself in RAF raws to start with )

Can this be fixed please ? consistency does matter ! so that all conversions have maker notes tags transferred !
