Adobe Profiles (i.e. Adobe Standard) Missing From ACR in Photoshop 2024

My Adobe color profiles are not available on Photoshop 2024 (Mac). Color and Monochrome are there, but none of the others like Adobe Standard or Neutral are there.

I am editing raw files (not JPGs). And they show up in Lightroom Classic and even in Photoshop Beta on my computer. But not regular Photoshop 2024. Any ideas?

macOS

This is often misunderstood. Once a raw file is opened into Photoshop, it is no longer a raw file. Now it's an RGB file.

Camera profiles only apply to raw data directly from a camera sensor - single channel, Bayer/x-trans mosaic linear data. The Camera Raw processor needs to demosaic and encode into an RGB color space before it can be opened into Photoshop. By now, the camera profile is baked into the data and has done its job.

In other words, the Camera Raw filter, called from within Photoshop, is not the same as the full ACR raw processor. It jumps in much later in the processing.
