24-bit color is part of the EXIF standard. Your camera uses a greater color depth in its RAW image format, and therefore it uses a proprietary format, not a standard TIFF file, in order to be able to add GPS data. It's probably also an undisclosed and possibly encrypted format, making it difficult for any third-party software to convert it. No surprise then that you have the best results with the Nikon software.
