Luckily some kind developer found this out and after bugging the

Indeed the developer was a kind one but he didn't get the information
from the companies. dcraw *reverse engineers* almost all the RAW formats
that it supports. The RAW formats have either just compression or
encryption of the metadata and sometimes both of them. dcraw continues
to crack every new RAW format metadata encryption/compression which
comes with newer generation digital cameras.
From the openraw.org website I found out that Sony has acknowledged
their survey report and gave an indication that that future products
will take into consideration the data and customer's desires. Other
major manufacturers like Canon and Nikon don't seem to have changed
their stance. But dcraw creator is still up for cracking any new
encryptions the manufacturers use for their new products.
