Elements 13 [Unable to open Fujifilm X-A3 Raw files in Elements 13]

There seem to be some misconceptions here:

1. If you buy a new camera, all camera manufacturers have to do is include Save To DNG in the settings and you can edit those Raw files in any version of Elements. Camera manufacturers consciously choose NOT to include DNG in their cameras but they choose to include a proprietary RAW file format (unique to every camera make and model).
2. Adobe has to play catch up and update its Raw and DNG converters for every new Raw file format
3. Most of the time Adobe issue free Camera Raw updates to include new cameras. Update your version of Elements and the new camera is included.
4. Adobe still innovates and issues a new version of Elements from time to time. Raw updates are never made backward compatible with older versions of Elements. Your older version of Elements still works the same as the day you bought it, but probably supports more Raw file formats.
5. Adobe could leave you in the lurch and force you to upgrade. However, they also issue a free DNG converter. That allows you to convert your Raw files to DNG format and edit the DNG in your version of Elements. The camera makers could have done that in the first place.
6. So you always have a choice to upgrade Elements or keep your older version and use the DNG converter with it to convert your new camera's Raw files so you can edit the DNG files.

Seems to me that Adobe is the good guy and the camera makers could improve their practices but never will.

I have a Fuji XA3 and says that the raw plugin ver. should be 9.8. My Elements 13 plugin is 9.0.0. I tried to update but it says it is up to date. won't open raw files.
