Take Deep Fusion. Even if that were to take a little longer, have it run over my photos at night while I'm plugged in.

But then when you go back to review old photos, they're going to look different than the first time you reviewed it. That's going to be confusing.

Also, if you're going to share a photo, you're likely going to do it the same day you took it.

No it won’t. The framing will be identical. That’s how the DSLR world works. The viewfinder is used for framing & exposure check and then the rest is done behind the scenes.

A photo has more elements than just framing. It would be disorienting and customer-hostile to have your photos randomly change overnight.

About 60-75% of the time I take photos, I share them soon after or within a few hours. Having to wait to let them be processed overnight would be obnoxious.

And it's not particularly helpful to compare people taking photos on their phone to the DSLR world. (Coming from someone with a nikon d200, d300 sitting on his shelf). Totally different use cases, totally different usage expectations.

Yes, Deep Fusion doesn't affect the composition, but it could bring out detail the photographer didn't intend to reveal.
