Not everyone wants to take a picture where things are in frame, in focus, and the setting is controlled - but they want a picture when the conditions are right: this is why burst-mode-with-auto-best selection is a thing. When I'm taking a picture, please don't make me think too hard, work tor hard, or it or hope to get the timing exactly right. I don't have a clue why fidelity-loss at point of capture is romanticized when you can do it in 'post'. It is also not future-proof for no good reason, IMO. My argument is an extension of why you would want to shoot and save pictures in RAW, rather than JPEG.
My personal holy grail would be a continuous, high-quality 360-degree video on which I can go back in time and frame a specific area at a given time to put on the Christmas card/push in the gallery. Bonus point would be opening the framed-image in a gallery and being able to see the context around it (360-video with sound).
