Answered been already given that good debayering will have eg. 80% efficiency, so you will get (badly saying) 80% of 4:4:4 (if sensor resolution=output resolution). Add a bit of oversampling and you will get full 4:4:4 worth of data image. This applies to any RAW, as BRAW is nothing specific compared to other RAW formats at the end.
People are too much exited about BRAW- its nothing that special at all compared to the RAW formats. Its based on same base principle. Rest are just details.
If you were addressing me, my point was if they had originally not made it fully exotic custom format, but a hopefully normally usable and viewable format, you could convert to Bayer if you wish. Then hopefully no special software or processing is needed, except when you convert to Bayer, you could then use the footage either way in the extra quality recording mode.
I saw Braw, and asked for an extra quality mode, and let them to braw. Because it's the shiny new toy syndrome, people get upset about, including those two in that English site, so you can't do too much with marketing effect in full swing, even though people see the difference without looking at the pixels, which is just a tool which described what you are seeing. You see it too. But all this insulting 'pixel peeping' and a litany of insults to logic just continued even about questioning absolute performance. This is what needs to be realised, it is the circling hord, not the defenders of what is real. Often it is several people circling one or two people, and a few thousand standing around ignoring allowing them. The fall of society. I think people have realised things are not all absolutely perfect and not too get into such intense debates about this one. A few options to kick Braw to the next, minor, level is really not that much to ask. That next minor level is going be bigger, but it's Braw they want, do don't worry about it. But people go on about how big of a system they need, or how much extra storage they need to store 6k footage, that is just the price you pay to play with the extra quality. No use complaining about it, the only solution is too use the latest compression standards, or beyond those, it's no use putting down 6k becsuse of it, or compromising things, lower options are still there. The only point of the situation is that that there is better compression technique and chips options which may help, but otherwise it is what you get.
