Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be entirely possible for them to also save the raw sensor files along with the processed secret sauce image?

Tes, the "raw" data in this case would just be a bunch of sensor readouts from the different sensors. In order to make a useful image you would simply need a computer version of the same software that sits in the camera. The same is true for all raw converters: they do the same job as the camera would when snapping a jpeg. In this case, a bit more involved than just applying a mapping and sensor pattern filter like a normal digital camera, but still essentially the same thing.
