The film simulations are a JPEG thing. They are implemented in LR with Adobe's versions, and in Capture 1 with their versions. Some have said that the C1 "Fuji" film simulations are more faithful to what Fuji intended than the Adobe versions.Aren’t the Fujis famous for their film color simulation? So, there should be a way to reproduce a “natural” color rendering.
Never used Fujis. But the consistency of color brought me from Leica to HB.
I have not noticed a difference. But I also don't use them as a rule. I made my own profiles with a ColorChecker Passport, but didn't find them very good. For the last year or so I've used profiles for the GFX 100S made by Color Fidelity. The creator of those takes a different approach. Rather than trying to simulate a film stock, he aims for a neutral starting point. That approach works for me.
I don't use Hasselblad but I spent some time exploring output from a CFV 100C to see what it is like. Hasselblad's "Natural Colour Solution" produces pleasing files, but it's not what I call a "neutral" solution in that it's very much how Hasselblad thinks the world should look. If that lines up with how the photographer thinks the world should look, then it's a good match.
