Actually with a 8 bit JPEG youโre throwing away over 98% of the data from a 14 bit raw file even before compression.
Some people simply must keep
all image data, aside from saving RAW.
For them, JPEG is a no-no.
Just their philosophy.
There are so many programs out there that you can LEARN to use and make your RAW photos great. However, if you like your JPEG photos, by all means shoot in JPEG.
Most of us shoot in RAW because we learned how to use PhotoShop, Lightroom, ON1, Luminar NEO and many others.
If you are not creative, or have not learned how to use some, or any, of the above mentioned programs. Take the classes offered on YouTube or offered by various groups. It's a constant learning process, and fun, too. My philosophy has changed over the years: Just grab your camera and have fun.
I did have some awesome shots, and did some fun editing although simple, if only I could quit my job and play full time

(That's why I only purchase 'shrooms at the store....)
A hundred years ago (in Uncle Sam's Survival School) the question cam up about poison mushrooms. The answer was the amount of nourishment you get out of them, was not worth it.
