David TaylorIt CAN be the saviour of inapropriate exposure, but that is usually not the main reason or the reason at all. I have not the same impression from here than you get. And has I stated, it is quite rare nowadays to get bad exposure from recent cameras, even in full auto mode, even from cheap ones.

A more accurate interpretation might be that they use RAW images because of the scene's wide dynamic range.
I will use JPG for snapshots but not for images where I might want to print them to a reasonable size. In that case I prefer my own image massaging to whatever might be done by the camera.
It's both - you can plan on using RAW if you know that the scene /needs/ it, but the impression I get from reports here is that often it is the saviour of inappropriate exposure.
