The point is that I have never seen any of my images presented in any manner as the washed out green-tinted images that are presented as "unprocessed raw images" here.
If you open a raw file in LR and don't touch a single slider or make any processing selection of any kind the image LR shows you on your display is processed.
If you open a raw file in NX Studio and don't touch a single slider or make any processing selection of any kind the image NX Studio shows you on your display is processed.
One reason you have never seen any of your images presented as washed out and green is addressed in my earlier post:

It takes special software but if you can open a raw file without processing it in any way it'll look like the first illustration below." You're not using software that will permit you to see unprocessed raw data.

If your raw images look like that, it is because you made them look like that.
In this post in this thread:
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-698929-4.html#12283857 I was providing the OP with an explanation to answer the question: "How does a raw converter work?" I also noted about the 4th image in that set (see below), "This is the image you would see without doing any post processing except to set the white balance." That is a default open in the raw converter. It's processed.
When you open a raw file in any raw processing app and you have done absolutely nothing yet but open the image the software app shows you a very processed image on your display.
To display a raw file on your computer LR will first:
Demosaic the raw data.
Set black and white points for the raw data.
Apply a camera input profile to the data.
Set a white balance value for the image.
Apply a tone curve for the image.
Apply lens profile corrections to the image.
Apply input sharpening to the image.
Apply default noise correction to the image.
All of that is processing and it all gets done before you see anything. Otherwise you get shown the embedded JPEG.
