Fujifilm JPEG vs RAW (k.fe.derate.me)

Recently I started shooting RAW+JPEG because sometimes I don't want to post-proces my images and just straight use them. However, when comparing both I find no difference in colors or other adjustments. The SOOC JPEG with Velvia Film Simulation has the same colors, saturation, etc. as the unedited RAW file. What am I doing wrong?

Canon's DPP4 starts displaying RAW files from Canon Camera's processed as if by the Canon camera, as a feature, for precisely that reason: a good starting point.

Even if it didn't, the "ideal" recipe for displaying a RAW file as a JPG is probably relatively straightforward (how to form the luminance histograms, level of noise reduction & sharpening, etc.) and likely to give what appears to be the same results. I'd expect you'd only usually spot this with extreme pixel peeping. If the process was not straightforward, it would slow displaying the JPG in camera, and thus slow down the whole photography experience, so that's not going to happen!
