Why convert NEF to HDR?

Because NEF files use lossless RAW compression and 14-bit per channel, they are not ideal for High dynamic range photography. Converting them to HDR (lossless, 32-bit float) solves this. Converting NEF RAW images to HDR applies essential post-processing: white balance, demosaicing, and tone mapping. The result is a standard image ready for printing or further editing in any software.
