If I implied that, I'm sorry. Maybe I was thinking of something that
may or may not be true. Regardless, this pre-raw tweak is baked in by
the manufacturers. However, there is something else going on. There
are a few photographers that have discovered that placing
color-correction filters on the lenses will allow them to tweak the
optimization of the sensor.

The Tolls. (and camera).

Lens filters.

This is all about the manufacturers attempting to make the sensor's
native sensitivity as close to daylight balanced as possible. Some do
get this closer than others, though. In one of your favorite raw
converters, change the WB setting from No-WB to Daylight. You'll
usually see some little bit of shift. This is a result of the
manufacturer not quite getting it set exactly. Other cameras will be
pretty close to a perfect match. The WB settings that you use
in-camera for the raw file are non-destructive. It's nothing more than
a setting flag for a converter to read later on.
