I don't believe the discontinuation has to do with the technology - there are plenty of H5D successors to that camera. The particular function didn't make it into the newer cameras, but that doesn't mean it killed that camera.
Regarding "how raw is raw" - raw files haven't been truly raw from any mirrorless manufacture in quite some time. Canon and nikon provide reasonably 'raw' raw files (with canon's being more raw - as they do not median filter the low level data not that that is inherently superior or inferior) but to my knowledge every mirrorless manufacture cooks their raws.
