Sadly, profit trumps craft in the world of pre-press these days.
It's now up to the client to determine much of the quality.

That's certainly a possibility, a way to manage the client's
expectation while making one's job far easier in the bargain.
Still, it's a dereliction of duty, in a way, because what the
average client is able to wrest out of a given RGB image (in all
likelihood, just a straight Image > Mode > CMYK Color, with no
consideration of destination space or rendering intent, and no soft-
proofing) is probably not as good as what a skilled prepress
operator would be able to achieve.
In essence, the client is charged for an inferior result.
