What software are you using for editing? It may be that Fujifilm packs a so-called raw-LUT into the raw file itself, which the software then uses to make the raw file look like a JPEG.
I've never known this. This is a very good point. It would be nice if they did this because that would be a great starting point to make further edits on the RAW file.
Since you mentioned Capture One, I used it a lot and yes, they do that. I switched to Darktable a long time ago, so I don't know where exactly this is, but there should be a drop-down menu where you can select a base curve for the display referred process, and the next menu option should be the base lut for colour, if I remember correctly.
Edit: typo. And so in your case the colour option right under the base curve should say something with "Velvia"
There is an option to select the available film simulations in Capture One. But that needs to be done manually I believe. But if it's automatically applied on import if you also shoot JPEG, that's great. I must say that I thought the RAW's looked really good and was happy with myself that I selected the right exposure to make them look good. Turns out software helped me out again 😅
