It's completely wrong ! XMP is standardized by Adobe. But it's true
that 3rd party applications are not able to manage it properly. But's
it's another problem here...

This is what i do too.

Typically, i shot RAW + JPEG in particular condition, where i know
that JPEG can be a failure in workflow.

...else JPEG is really enough to work in 90% of case, and it's enough.

I'm waiting that camera constructor use a replacement of JPEG
supporting 16 bits color depth instead 8 bits... or why not, improve
JPEG standard to support a better color depth. It's already the case
of JPEG used in medecine which support lossless compression and 12
bits color depth. Note that an higher color to JPEG is possible, as
DNG use it to store RAW data with 16 bits color depth...
