It's not easy, but it's a very ridiculous constraint in this digital age.

JPEG shooting proficiency is not easy either. Tuning those picture style, etc to get ready to print photo straight from the camera is some serious 'pre-processing' skills also. There are pros that actually do just that as for one reason or another they don't have the chance, or don't have the time to do so.
