The frequent discussions (arguments?) about shooting raw vs. jpg leave me confused.

With due respect to all UHHers, I'm not confused at all.
I primarily shoot real estate with some drone and 360 work mixed in. I nearly ALWAYS shoot BOTH JPEG and RAW! That's because some of my clients want JPEG delivered and others want RAW. Most of them don't want any post processing done; they do it all (usually exported half-way around the world so that the final images are delivered to their clients the next morning). My role is simply to COMPOSE and EXPOSE.
This way I always have what they want. Sure it takes more hard drive space to save both, but storage is relatively inexpensive ($100 for 4TB that was good enough for all of 2020's 458 paid photo shoots), and it ensures that I always have the format (JPEG or RAW) that my clients want. I try to follow the Keep it Simple, Stupid (KISS) principle in all my work. JPEG AND RAW FOREVER!!
Again, Happy New Year to all UHHers. With 2020 in the rear view mirror, 2021 is already looking pretty good to me.

The real problem is that so much of what you know isn't so.

Yes, use raw to cover up your inadequacies.
I just went and looked at all of the work you posted. It would all benefit from some editing.

(Maybe he shoulda used RAW.)

Simply put, one has "X" editing capabilities with RAW files and "Y" capabilities with JPEG files,
where X > Y.
Neither is right or wrong, there are just different editing capabilities/limitations between the two formats.
Which format to use depends on the editing capability desires of the photographer.
People just mean-mouth one or the other based on their belief (opinion) and/or desires.

Wouldn't waste my time on it. Ok for what it is. But thank you for your help.

"Shoulda"? What are you, a cowboy? And "RAW" is written "raw". I surmise that in this battle of wits, you have come unarmed.

Oh, you don't speak colloquial either?
Just perfect English.
I'm armed, but I don't waste ammunition.
Maybe YOU write it as raw But I write it as RAW.
