I’d always found this to be the opposite - Exif data is generally universally readable by photography/file management tools regardless of the camera that took it. I’ve never heard of photographers encountering trouble reading Exif data, unless it was because they accidentally stripped the metadata in a save as/export somewhere. There are a fair few libraries out there for pretty much any programming language you like that will return this data.
