In my book the issue with ProRes is the closed nature of the way Apple
have let it out into the world. Take Baton for example. You can do a
file based QC of ProRes but they have to treat it as a 'black box'. The
developers can't crack it open and analyse it and - like Vidchecker -
and repair it if needed. Other file formats allow that and are therefore
more useful in a file based workflow.
I was at a conference a while back and a very highly placed exec was
fulminating against Apple and ProRes for lots of reasons. Even the
diehard fans are starting to see the light.

Why is this insane? ProRes is perfectly fine to deliver for broadcast.
Are you really getting "abysmal" gamma shifts when creating a ProRes
file for delivery? I'm not.
I cringe when I don't see it in a deliverable sheet because it means
"they don't really know" and I need to have a back and forth with
someone about why it's not great to take broadcast delivery as H.264 or
worse.
DNxHD and ProRes are both great for broadcast. Neither one is insane.
