You took your shots to the lab, and they processed them according to their machines. If the machines were off, so were your images. That's like letting your camera's jpg algorithm decide how your images should look. It gives away control over them.

Professional photographers shoot in raw because they need to. Their work requires a level of control and flexibility that can only be achieved by shooting in a raw format.
