Does anyone know how to get Olympus lens profiles into Lightroom CC? 

Secondly - Why the heck does Adobe ignore Olympus Cameras?  Where's the love Adobe?

I unchecked the "Enable Profile Corrections" and now I get the message, "Built-in Lens Profile applied".  So that's how I get automatic lens corrections is by not doing anything at all?  Convenient for sure but honestly, I have never realized this.  <palm smack to the forehead>

If you further click on the ( i ) it will tell you what types of corrections have been applied.  These corrections are applied whether or not that Enable Profile Corrections checkbox is on, having that enabled merely overlays the useful message about a built-in profile being applied with a message about a profile not being found.

What the "not being found" message is referring to is an external profile file, like for DSLRs that don't have lens corrections embedded in each raw file so need an external file to characterize the lens.

If you didn't like the always-on built-in corrections, then you could also create an external lens profile with the Adobe Lens Profile Creator that would be applied in addition to those internal corrections, one perfecting the other, but I'm not sure if anyone goes to that trouble when there are built-in corrections.

It could be a combination of both.  This is the message I see.

Except on my screen it reads, "Unable to find a matching profile automatically".  This is for the Olympus 25mm Prime 1:1.8 lens which is one of their most common lenses.

I feel a major disconnect here.

Either you don't understand the statement from Adobe that I quoted, or I don't understand what you are saying.
