Camera processing is only the part of colour reproduction. If camera sensor has bad metamerism (especially as bad as Canon cameras typically have) it will be visible on photos in one way or another.

They are using SOOC JPEGs and they do not give two shits of a damn about what kind of processing camera uses be it LUT profile or tone curves or anything else and they do not even mention camera settings.
Either that or they are using Lightroom without stating it and Lightroom has LUT profiles too and again, no settings mentioned.
You might study DXO colour measurements, those are useful indeed because they find optimal matrix conversion and study true camera metamerism and they even depict the magnitude of colour noise.
Encoding does not mean anything if you can get the original information i.e. it's lossless. DNG format is as close to being universal and raw as possible and still not universally adopted. Nikon scales channels and messes up with black level, Pentax has built permanent noise reduction into K-1 Mk2, Fuji X manipulate "raw" output to hide moire (it's the only reason X-Trans does not expose moire) and denoise image (it's the only reason why X-Trans looks so much better than sensors from same generation). All of it is loss of information
and
they won't magically stop doing any of this if you somehow manage to force them to use file format totally unsuitable for the task.
