Aren't CMYK>RGB and RGB>CMYK difficult conversions? If I understand it
correctly, there are skilled photographers who own Photoshop and still
send files to professional service bureaus for such conversions, in
preparation for high-quality printing. I think that these bureaus
often have to make manual corrections, to optimize the conversion. I
think it has to do with the idiosyncracies of printing inks and
printing technology.

This leads me to a question. If one is not needing CMYK for a printing
application (the most common need for CMYK), what other crucial use
does it have?

Just in case anyone doesn't know, not all printing processes are
optimized for CMYK. There are also high quality processes that operate
in RGB color space.
