What software are you using for editing? It may be that Fujifilm packs a so-called raw-LUT into the raw file itself, which the software then uses to make the raw file look like a JPEG.
I've never known this. This is a very good point. It would be nice if they did this because that would be a great starting point to make further edits on the RAW file.
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!
