Another HDR stacking post - any indication if it's ever coming?

As a starting photographer (no professional ambitions) I tried both Lightroom and C1. Stuck with C1 because I have a Fuji X-T3 and don't like having to take extra steps while importing to make sure the quality of my pictures is good (noticed a pretty big difference when looking at foliage). Also, the performance seems to be better on my machine.

By now I really like working with C1! There were a few things I really did like a lot better in Lightroom though:

• Stacking multiple images to create an HDR image. I'm seriously considering going over to Lightroom just for this. I don't want to go to external tools, that also don't leave me with a RAW file for further editing.
• Lightroom's cloud sync and corresponding mobile app for some quick edits on the go.
• Lightroom could directly import from my Fuji X-T3 SD card. Having to copy to an import directory first to be able to import, is such an unnecessary step.
• Having a history, so I see what I'm about to undo/redo.

In the end (as an experienced developer myself) I can understand that having to build and maintain a mobile app is quite an investment and is also quite different than building desktop applications, so I can accept that it's missing.

Not being able to import directly from all cameras is just a minor annoyance, so can overlook that as well. Same for the history. Cloud sync I just use OneDrive for.

The biggest thing I really fail to understand is not implementing HDR support. Especially after searching for 'HDR' in the feature requests and seeing the number of people requesting this.

Please give some feedback on why this isn't being implemented or give a timeline/estimate on when it will be implemented, anything instead of the 'forwarded to the developers'. Every development company I've come across as an IT consultant has some sort of backlog of work and usually some type of planning to give these types of answers to stakeholders. Any indication if they're considering this and if so what the estimated timeline is will do (which is not a promise, so should be fine to share with all of us!). If it's just never going to be implemented would be good to know as well, so we can stop asking.

Just for reference, a list of topics mentioning HDR in the Feature Requests section:

So what other things are so much more important? :) Sorry for the slight rant, but I really would like to stick with C1 and I'm just looking for some answers.
