one might not want to pay for it and then who says that they are actually closer to how different Fuji digital camera models render OOC JPGs than otherwise possible - any proper tests with dE*-whatever numbers were done vs personal IMHOs and superlative adjectives ?
… there’s always a free 30-day trial to find out whether FP is worth its cost or not.
Moreover, FP has the fine contrast sliders that will appear in PhotoLab, once the FP license is active. Some consider these sliders are worth the cost of FP.

yes, but one might not want to pay for it regardless of the trial and price and other features … the mere presence of some luts in DxO PL does not mean the more generic and obvious approach ( in every raw file embedded OOC JPG is itself a target description [ all required colors coordinates to be used for raw DN → destination/intermediate colorspace color transform ] and the image raw data itself is a target shot - just do it on the fly ) shall not be considered
We’re all free to decide how to spend our own money … and basing one’s decision on testing experience is just one way to go. Seeing is believing - reading maybe less so.
