ProRes is well and truly established, that doesn't make it high end to current standards.
For TV work it's fine and often good enough for theater.
I'm not sure I follow the logic.
ProRes is THE dominant codec. End of story.
We're pixel peeping 300% blowups on a codec that no-one uses, mostly because it's entirely impractical to shoot uncompressed RAW.
Who here really and truly actually shoots full uncompressed DNG ? (not 3:1 or 4:1)
Once it's compressed, then there's really no question at all that bRAW trumps compressed cDNG. It's a more modern codec that's also much more practical to use in post.
The fastest media doesn't even support higher frame rates when it's uncompressed...
If you really really want uncompressed RAW then Arri Raw is basically TIFF files you can shoot that, or you can go to an Odyssey 7Q+ with a cDNG RAW option and turn any camera into a cDNG camera.

I'd much rather BMD focus on getting more DR and better functionality into their cameras that using a legacy RAW format that very very few actually use and certainly isn't AT ALL widely used in industry, and is NEVER LIKELY to be adopted more than it currently is.
