However, it requires extra time, it requires more harddisk space.

Actually it can end up using less space which considering the cost of disk space today, versus ending up with a baked image seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

How can shooting RAW use less disk space?

Well a DNG takes up less disk space than a proprietary raw and a rendered JPEG and certainly a layered TIFF can take up more space. In some raw workflows, you NEVER have to render the raw; you print through say LR's print module. You export a rendered low resolution JPEG for the web directly in the product. When I make a web gallery in LR, it renders a JPEG and uploads that data directly; it never needs to be saved on my hard drive.

But seriously, is disk space an issue

Nope its not an issue but if you're wrong about that..........

compared to baking a JPEG from a camera and throwing away the actual high bit, potently wide gamut data that you, the image creator can now render as you please? An 8TB USB-C drive is a mere $399 today. What do you consider the worth of just ONE image you capture? Assuming too, you're even a pro.

Nope - I'm not even a pro

Let's see; transparencies and neg film take up space. I'll make a print and then throw them away so I have someplace to store socks. NOT.

After they get scanned - the socks get priority.
