Mavic 3 Pro Cine embedded lens profile doesn't fix distortion

I've had my Mavic 3 Pro Cine for 7 months and have always been unsatisfied with how the horizon looks in photos when the horizon is in the upper 1/4 of the image. The outer ends of the horizon bend upwards. Upon looking into this further, it appears the embedded lens profile is the problem. With no way to disable the embedded lens profile of the DNG inside ACR, the only option is to use another non-Adobe method to strip the embedded lens profile from the DNG and perform the correction another way. If only ACR would allow users to disable the embedded lens profile and adjust the image. I'm not referring to the Lens Profile corrections under the Optics tab in ACR. I'm referring to the lens profile that gets embedded into the DNG.

    An example of how the horizon is distorted (low at the arrows, higher in the middle and higher outside the arrows). This horizon shouldn't have any distortion. It can't be corrected using Manual distortion in ACR.

      This is the embedded (aka "built-in") lens profile that causes the distortion. If there was a way to deactivate this profile in ACR, that would solve the problem.
