Yes and No
Yes, many collect raw and prefer to hold the cards in their hands and not some piece of plastic. Additionally, buying raw is oftentimes cheaper.
However, there are advantages to graded cards that are worth considering: authenticating cards by a professional to ensure they are not counterfeits or altered, receiving a grade that (could) increase the value for resale, protection of the card from aging, etc., and some people just like the view of a card enclosed in a solid/clean looking holder....
