These findings are interesting from a technical perspective.

The main questions I have is how much difference does this make to the level of detail in the raw files compared with for instance the Leica and what are the benefits / drawbacks of doing this?

In real world use, will we even notice?

Engineers fine tune the output from every camera. The goal is to produce good looking and easy to post process images. Guess we do notice even when we are not aware of noticing.

Completely uncooked RAW files are ugly and need a lot of additional post processing. Some who want uncooked RAW do probably not quite know what they wish for.

FWIW, I have tested over 400 camera models and "cooked" raw files are the exception not the rule. The vast majority of the raw files I encounter have no detectable signal processing.
