Allow Camera Manufacturers to provide their own Camera "Profile"

Question

I recently bought a Nikon D5000 DSLR and noticed that very often, the jpeg Foto Files created by the camera are ***much*** better rendered than the RAW/NEF Foto Files, as rendered by Lr. This is true both with Lr 2 and with Lr 3.
For this reason, for my Nikon D5000 Photos, I use/edit only very seldom the RAW/NEF Photo files and use/edit most of the time the Jpeg Foto Files. This is somehow a pitty.
It is therefore my impression, that Adobe should allow (and motivate!) the camera manufacturers to provide for Lr (and for Adobe Camera Raw) their own Camera Profiles, which would render RAW Files as well as they (=the camera manufacurer) render their jpeg files.
Such an enhancement would allow me (and other users) to benefit more from the combined use of two excellent products: my excellent camera and the excellent Lr Software. It is my impression that such an enhancement woulde also be benefitial for Camera Manufacturers (e.g. Nikon will be happy to know, that their customers can benefit more from Lr) and would also be benefitial for Adobe (Adobe will be happy to know, that those users who bought a brand-X camera can achieve for their camera with Lr the best RAW rendering).
Adobe could leave it to each camera manufacturer, to decide if they prefer to sell or to give-away their Lr camera profile.
Notice: I am not a Lr expert and do therefore not know how easy or how difficult it will be to provide such an enhancement. But as a non-expert, I have the impression that since it is today possible for a user to define and use his own Lr Presets, it should also be possible to define and use Camera profiles that are not defined by Adobe. ....Perhaps, what I am looking for, could be achieved with some kind of Presets that will be provided by the camera manufacturers.

Adobe's point-of-view is to make their RAW engine process RAW files consistently from 100s of cameras.
Each camera manufacturer's point-of-view is to produce in-camera JPGs better than their competitors or at least good enough to turn a profit.
ssprengel, on the above subject too, I fear that you are describing the somehow sad reality.
But, sometimes enlighted managers also spend time to think about and to work on the objectives/point-of-views of ***their users***; this not only for the benefit of their users but indirectly also for the well-understood benefit of their products. 
In this particular case, my point of view/objective is to get an excellent  RAW rendering for ***my*** particular camera. I guess that this is/will also be the case of a lot of other non-sophisticated Lr users ....and I believe that Lr has (thanks to its excellence) also a very interesting market potential within the segment of non-sophisticated users (who are a little bit like me: neither bloody beginners nor experts).
If (what is very probable), Adobe can not afford to spend a very high amount of time on the RAW rendering for each one of the thousands of different camera models: it would be great if there would be a solution that would allow the camera manufacturers (and/or third parties) to provide "something" (perhaps something new, which is different from todays camera-profiles and from todays Presets) that will allow to render within Lr excellently the RAW File formats of their cameras.
I understand that you will answer me: "please stop to bother us with your day dreams" and I will therefore stop.
Thanks again for the help that you provided.
Sincerely
Robert
