Yes, it does sound aggressive. Is that better or worse than elitist? The fact is that shooting RAW gives you better pictures. Shooting JPEG is like buying a Ferrari and driving at 30mph. If that's what you want to do, fine. But why not save the money and buy a Nissan? And incidentally, to answer your question, I would hope that people would shoot RAW in order to get the best out of their equipment. That's called altruism, not elitism.
