Drop the same files into Irident and it's a different story, so this is NOT inherent to the sensor itself.
Yes, it is "inherent to the sensor": it is abssolutely down to the sensor. Just because Iridient has found a way to work around the demosaicing problems the sensor causes, doesn't mean that the sensor isn't still the cause of the problems.

This issue is all over the web among Fuji users all the time, and frankly is an embarrassment for Adobe.
RIght there you might be hitting on the real issue - just maybe there aren't enough Fuji users out there for Adobe to feel it worth the resources it might take to address this supposed problem. Just maybe Adobe doesn't think this is as important as you do. Frankly, I doubt that Adobe feels very embarrassed at all about the quality of its Fuji support.
If that's the case, you're stuck: either with living with the problem (and here I'll point out that it's still not definitively a problem - all over the internet,and even on this thread, there are Fuji users who have worked out how to use Fuji files in Lr to their satisfaction, and Adobe will be well aware that the condemnation isn't universal); or with taking your money elsewhere.
Oh - or you could always move away from using a "niche" camera brand - nobody's forcing you to wear your Fuji hair shirt...
