Does this mean that Canon made a bad implementation of their dual pixel and in general unnecessary waste some dynamic range?

At this moment, you have to manually use software DPRSplit to split it into two images and then use photo editing software such as PhotoShop to extract this extra stop of dynamic range.

Company like Adobe are continuously making improvement in camera Raw processing that pictures I took using a Canon D60 nearly 20 years ago still got a slight but noticeable improvement last year due to their improved processing.

Hopefully, after Canon has sold enough camera with DPR capability, Adobe or other RAW processing software companies will come up with improved raw processing that can automatically improve the dynamic range of image stored using DPR format
