    my Pixel, and many other digital cameras, can shoot “raw” images

    The raw data a tiny phone sensor with tiny lenses captures is highly distorted, with strong chromatic aberration and diffraction effects. They only go away (to an extent) with large sensor cameras, and high end lenses.

    If the “raw” images that Pixel produces have none of those distortions, then they aren’t raw.
