I see you folks do not favor in using the Vertical slider, as I did in my previous shots.
After I found out it was very handy to straighten the merging vertical lines to parallel in LR, much easier than in PS, I did that as I have presets (one click) to do +/- 5, 10, 15, 20,25 corrections. So after taking a full length portrait, I don't have to decide which vertical line(right or left) is the true vertical.
Does it make sense besides hiding my wife's neck lines?
She would yell at me to hold my camera higher as I usually favors to shoot at shoulder level, because that is the only thing she cares , how her face look.

That is the problem using a 50mm lens. They tend to exaggerate problems with distortion. Use a different focal length and or stand farther away. Keep the lens parallel to the ground as much as possible.

That's why the Vert & Hor Sliders are within the Len Correction section.
Probably, Pro always use the right lens and no need for Lens Correction in LR.
50mm is probably too short for Portrait. I had a 135mm prime which I hardly find any use.
