BUT it is HDR aka they take multiple of photos and use the under exposed for the sky and the more exposed for the faces. So they are doing MUCH more then a histogram.

Sure, but why even do that if a histogram stretch achieves what is effectively the same end result?

Because in the long run HDR will be better for people who are horrible picture takers.

In your one example sure. But isn't that sort of short sighted?
