Assuming one shoots raw plus JPEG which is less necessary with tools such as Lightroom which can speed up the process and produce a JPEG that matches the raw rendering. The problem with the plus JPEG for many is the rendering is so different. Adobe got us closer by producing DNG profiles (more like “look profiles”) and an editor that attempt to mimic the in-camera proprietary rendering. Close in some cases, not always in others.
The other issue some have is that sending a client a JPEG produces that rendering expectation from the raw. They want a match. That’s not always possible. If you quickly spin off JPEGs from the raw, they match. But for some, JPEG only is necessary for speed of delivery. And the camera manufactures do work hard to produce pleasing in-camera rendering. In the end, for the photographer, its much like choosing a transparency film based on its look vs. shooting a neg and rendering the print in the darkroom.
