Different HDR output made by LIGHTROOM and ADOBE CAMERA RAW

Question

I am using similar RAW files ( Taken with my Nikon Z6 ) to create HDR merged file, the outcome from Lightroom is terrible ! But the outcome from ACR is totally fine . I have not changed settings and both are on default setting. Please see below :

I prefer the use Lightroom because I can stack files by capture time and make HDRs in a batch proccess while on ACR it should be done one by one. But this outcome is not useable .....

Lightroom and ACR use the exact same engine, so it would be surprising if there was any real difference. What probably happened is that in Lightroom you checked the option to automatically apply settings, and in ACR you did not. These are non-destructive settings, so if you don't like them then change them to what you do like.
