Nikon Z forced lens profiles harming images

Hello,

I've been using LR professionally since literally the beginning (maybe 15yrs?).

I've just bought my first Nikon Z camera and I find the inability to turn off the forced lens profiles very disappointing and baffling. From what I gather this is an Adobe decision - other software allows the profiles to be turned off.

Profiles can at times help an image given the correct circumstances. But in my photography I see so many examples where these supposed "corrections" only harm and degrade the image.

This is common with wide lenses where the corner stretching necessary to "correct" barrel distortion simply crops down the image and creates blurry mush in the corners. What if there are no straight lines in the image and the barrel distortion is wholly invisible? This does nothing more than forcefully degrade the image. 

I also shoot underwater and without getting technical - wide photos shot through a dome port (a water-glass-air interface) produce lens "distortions" very different from those on land. Lens profiles cannot acommodate this and, again, forcing their application only harms the image. They further stretch already stretched corners and crop the image where every degree of lens coverage is very much needed. 

Other examples include images with a naturally dark underexposed corner - the vignetting "correction" creates horrible noise and often an off-colour blue glow to the area. In general vignetting "corrections" cannot acommodate all scenarios and I see many situations where they do not do an acceptable job. I've been selectively using profiles for years with my DSLRs and now first tests with forced profiles on my new mirrorless Z camera & lens.

I have examined examples via DXO Photolab which does allow profiles turned off. 

I really fail to understand why this is being done. This feels like such a gut punch to my image creation abilities. This issue may be a deal breaker for me and I may have to start looking at alternate software options.

Please Adobe, with all of my heart I sincerely hope you can return to optional lens profiles. 

Sincerely,
