Wants don't always enter into it.
I need to be able to take a card out of the camera and put it into my
printer and make prints. Several hundred prints at a time, and they have
to be off the printer packaged and out the door within a couple of hours
of being shot.
For us, RAW is not only not an option, we would be foolish to bother
trying.
Instead, we exercise our control at the time of shooting, by not varying
the lighting conditions and adjusting things to allow us to do what we
need to do in lab to maintain our production values, while giving us the
throughput speeds we require.
For me, the tunable white balance is a pleasant surprise, and will prove 
at least as useful as any other of the major features on the K10.
