This is consistent with your massive state of confusion about color profiles (of any format) being casually discardable metadata, rather than being data loss. And the absurd notion that professional workflows want embedded profiles ignored. It's just total nonsense, and utterly backwards. It's a lazy approach to not actually fix problem, and not let applications stand alone on their own merit. Everything I've read of Kai Uwe in this thread has been spot on.
