Camera Raw is a plug-in in the context of Adobe Photoshop, but it is an integrated, embedded component of Lightroom. Although they refer to it as Camera Raw (because the plug-in and the embedded contexts use the same code), you cannot update Camera Raw independently in the case of Lightroom. I run only macOS, iOS, and iPadOS machines. I can't tell you what works or doesn't on Linux, Windows, or Android OS platforms: I have no experience using them for photography or image processing purposes. LR 6.14 had broken bits getting increasingly severe through macOS 10.14.x revisions. When I updated to macOS 10.15 "Catalina", LR broke and would not run. After doing an extensive amount of trails with various alternatives, On1 being the most promising of them, I gave up for the present and installed Lightroom Classic … Because I needed to get some work done again. All the problems disappeared and I'm back to my usual productive photo workflow since, and the cost is a $10 per month charge to keep using it. I don't use the Adobe Cloud at all: with LR Classic, the application operates the same way it did with LR 6.x, but they do try to push you to use the Cloud services and the Lightroom Cloud-based version. I don't need to, I don't, and I won't. And I keep looking for a usable alternative that nets the same productivity and consistency. I haven't found one yet, but Photos (supplied with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS) continues to look good when supplemented with "RAW Power" (by Gentlemen Coders - https://gentlemencoders.com) for more useful control of the rendering specifics. I also have Affinity Photo that works well as a Photoshop replacement. And a few other hopefuls that I'll test out when I get a chance. My new camera (Hasselblad 907x with the CFVII 50c digital back) produces native raw files that LR Classic understands and works very well with. Hasselblad also provides their own image processing and control software for macOS and iOS/iPadOS (Phocus 2 and Phocus 2 Mobile). I've tested this briefly so far: it works pretty well from what I have seen and offers some advantages for that camera over LR Classic, as well as extensive tethered operation in the case of Phocus 2 Mobile and the iPad Pro 11". I'll spend more time learning it and working with it as well.
