That's how the LCD on the camera or devices like iPads display the proprietary raw files. Picture controls are applied to the embedded jpg just like when you shoot jpg only. A raw file opened in Lightroom etc does not have all the enhanced contrast, saturation, sharpening etc applied, hence it looks more flat. When you shoot raw you either tweak to your taste each time you process or apply some presets.I only keep 5-10% of my shots so I tweak each one typically. If I was shooting weddings I would probably use presets.</blockquote>
