Finally Seeing the Light(room)

You are mixing up two things here:

1) The format of the CR2 file need to be know to write a RAW converter and Adobe knows the format of all RAW formats supported.

2) Each RAW converter has it's own algorithms to do the demosaicing from the sensor and the Bayer pattern which is the same almost all cameras. In other words Adobe do not need to know the algorithms Canon uses and in fact I strongly believe that Adobe has the better algorithms with Lightroom 4. Demosaicing, noise reduction and sharpening was rewritten entirely for PV2010 and now carried into PV2012 in LR4. All other RAW converters use their own algorithms and also do not need any knowledge from Canon.
