That certainly explains why a lot of cameras can be configured to save RAW+JPEG.

  There are other reasons as well. It provides a backup in case of a memory card failure. I also sometimes shoot events where I like to have raw photos but I need to pass off JPEGs to editors to use right away. JPEGs are also quicker/easier to work with in general but it's nice to have the raw photos for some images that you want to have some more latitude to work with at length.

    If your memory card fails, RAW+JPEG isn't going to save you.

      On my Canon 5Diii there's a CF and an SD card slot. Write raw to the CF and JPG to the SD.
