Photographers: is it rude to ask upfront for RAW files instead of edited photos?

Is it rude to pre-negotiate receiving RAW images from a photoshoot instead of edited photos?

I shoot semi-regularly and have done portraits of friends and family, including editing in Lightroom. That said, I'm not a professional in the sense that I don't have a business, nor do I have any intention of starting one.

I'm graduating from grad school soon, and I looking for a photographer to take grad photos. Ideally, I'd like to find someone willing to do the shoot and provide the images unedited — essentially, I just want to pay for the RAW files.

I understand that most photographers prefer not to share RAW files for a variety of reasons: they're essentially the negatives, there are concerns about the images being poorly edited and still associated with the photographer's name, and so on. It also seems like a lot of the frustration comes from clients asking for RAWs after the fact.

With all of that in mind, my plan would be to bring this up during the initial outreach to the photographer, not after. Would you be upset or annoyed if a potential client proposed this arrangement upfront? And for those who would be open to it, how would skipping the editing phase affect your pricing? Any advice on how to frame the request respectfully?
