That's not entirely accurate. Auto HDR is enabled only on certain games. Microsoft maintains a whitelist so not all games support the feature even if they are DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. Microsoft seems to do some testing to ensure that the games they whitelist to use the feature look fine with it turned on. And in many of the games I've tried with it turned on, it functions just as well as a native HDR implementation. It really is quite impressive.

There's no way that Microsoft didn't do some tuning to ensure that the Auto HDR feature worked flawlessly with titles like Gears, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, etc. Because of how well Auto HDR works on the Halo games it's probably why they haven't bothered adding 'official' HDR support into The Master Chief Collection's graphics menus yet.

So it should absolutely be noted on a game's page when the game supports Auto HDR, because it's basically as good as a native HDR implementation on many games, and it can be very misleading to readers to declare a game as not having any HDR support at all when it does support Auto HDR.
