This. I try, but I still end up too often applying oral porcine makup… 
I tend to think of this point when I watch an expert (often using darktable!) effectively resurrect a poorly exposed image with stunning wizardry. But I also have to think - “Why wasn’t it shot better in the first place?” I realize there’s not always time, space, angle, light, etc, … even for pros. But IMO fixing bad images should be the exception rather than the rule.
