If you're shooting in studio or portraits where there is fix lighting/condition/etc, and you have the time to fine tune in camera, then it's less of an issue;
If you're shooting for an important event, e.g. weddings. I think it's not about trying to show professionalism, but it's more about having to be safe. Of course, nothing wrong with Jpeg only. It all depends on what type of quality you want to produce, how well you want to do, how you feel is good enough, how your client's demand, etc.
There's nothing wrong to shoot Jpeg or RAW, shooting RAW, you get to produce JPEG; But with Jpeg, you cannot get RAW. So, which to choose?
Sometimes, some people may try to tease and make people shoot jpeg so they don't learn or shoot raw; maybe they don't want the person to "climb" or "advances" or "learn"; Or sometimes you may see it as, they want the person to learn to get it right in camera first. It really depends how you see it, there's many ways to see certain things, but it doesn't mean shooting raw, you don't need to get it right in camera. (same applies for editing)
Why choose only 1? When you can shoot raw (or raw+jpeg), and still try to get it right in camera and have options to choose raw or jpeg output, edit or non-edit. It's all up to you, there's no rules that say you can only choose 1.
