It’s a small sample but on what basis do you say it’s biased?
And does it really doesn’t matter what pros do? Why? Pros have different priorities than most hobbyists here.

You answered your own question...
Based on PROs.
No, it doesn't matter to me what PROs do,
I do what I want to do.
I don't want to be like them, I want to be like me.

So you are saying the small sample is biased to what pros do? But it’s a small sample so how can you say its representative of the bias of all pros? What is your confidence factor given the small sample size?
I’m just having a little fun. ;)
I think “it’s a small sample” is all you can really say.

Alas, intending the topic, and specifically this presentation of the topic, to be helpful to the novice is both disingenuous and incorrect. Who cares what an unprocessed RAW file looks like??? That's the worst aspect of the presentation. And it never concludes with a comparison of the edited results. This is beyond a bad and misleading presentation. It's not worth the electronics it's recorded into, nor the time to read and consider.
When you become a RAW photographer, you become the decision maker for these considerations in post processing, where many had been decided by the camera for the JPEG:
1. Sharpening
2. Noise Reduction
3. Color Saturation
4. Exposure adjustments, general
5. Contrast, general
6. Highlights and shadows
7. White Balance
8. Lens corrections
9. Color space
10. Pixel resolution for target image share platforms
11. Disk storage (for the larger files)
12. Image file back-up strategy (for those larger files)
You don't have to understand all these issues, but when you do, you'll be much more successful as a RAW photographer.

funny I shoot Jpeg most of the time and ON1 allows me to make the 1st 8 adjustments on your list quite easily. I've never been disappointed so far.

Nope. Maybe you can show us. Below is a JPEG from a Nikon Z7. The WB is off and needs corrected. You can do that easily in On1? Let's see.

Ideally we should be setting the white balance as we convert the raw file.
But unless there is something deficient in ON1, the eyedropper can work on the JPEG. Here is the result from Capture One.
I clicked on the second white square in the Color Checker and ended up with 11417k@-3.4 tint. I wasn't so lucky with the other squares. But that is not a raw WB. It's the Capture One setting for adjusting the JPEG. It's on a different scale than the one intended for raw and does not line up with the color of the light.
Then I clicked on the white collar of the guy on the can and got 11600k@-5.5 tint. But the collar is a very small target and the result depends on where exactly I click because it contains a lot of noise.
I could not tell the difference between the two results on my calibrated monitor.
Two takeaways:
1. The WB needs to be set with a bright white area in the JPEG and you should avoid noisy areas. Your Styrofoam container should work.
2. The color checker is designed to be used with a raw image. It won't work well with a JPEG.

re: 2- The color checker is designed to be used with all images, not exclusively RAW. It's not the color checker's fault if a JPEG editor can't handle doing a proper (acceptable) adjustment. It's much easier to work with in a RAW editor though.

I used to shoot JPEG until I got on this forum.
Now raw is it.
A huge gigantic difference for me.
