At the heart of a DCP profile is a matrix. Where do you suppose the
matrix comes from? Someone makes a target chart shot and then uses
profiling software to obtain the matrix.
Quoting from the dcraw c-code just above the adobe_coeff table
("otherwise noted" mostly refers to profiles made from target shots
submitted by users to the dcraw dev):
/*
All matrices are from Adobe DNG Converter unless otherwise noted.
*/
void CLASS adobe_coeff (const char *t_make, const char *t_model)
{
So except for the RT camera input profiles made by RT users (and devs
(and darktable profiles made by darktable users and devs, and so forth),
it looks like RT profiles (and profiles from any raw processor that uses
dcraw to decode the raw files) in fact do use matrices contained in the
dcraw adobe_coeff table.

indeed you need to invest some effort here, what a bummer !
It would indeed be a bummer if the only way to get a decent general
purpose camera input profile were either (1)buy a Mac computer and
install RPP, or(2)install VmWare, download OSX, and violate the OSX EULA
by installing it in VmWare, and then install RPP.
But many people do make and use (and like much more than the adobe_coeff
table matrices) their own general purpose camera input profiles. There
are decent commercially available target charts available. Daylight and
direct sunlight do make nice full-spectrum light sources even if the
light isn't "exactly" D50. The procedures aren't that difficult to
follow. You don't need to break the bank buying specialized lighting and
laboratory setups just to make a general purpose camera input profile.
Best,
Elle
