A jpeg straight from the camera has still been converted from the raw data, but the conversion has been done automatically, according to parameters set by the camera’s firmware designers and the user’s menu choices.
Sorry, but that is a MASSIVE dodge designed to make people feel better about manipulating their photos. There is processing...and then there is PROCESSING. Shooting straight JPEGs and living with the camera's processing is not the same as stripping out a sky and layering in something more suitable, no matter how much we lie to ourselves and pretend it is.
