You don't edit every single image though, you trash the crap and keep the good ones. If you edited every image then yes it would take more time. I've had to edit photos from pro's shoots before when I worked at a record label and there is always a lot of unusable photos from a shoot.

Sitting at the "light table," (wow, now an anachronism!) reviewing images, is what I meant. If you shoot like a nut, with dozens of shots instead of a handful, that costs too much time. When I last went to Hawaii I shot like a nut and paid for it with HOURS of tedious "which one of these is best" time.

ehhh, even the pro's shoot a ton of frames. It's not like it cost anything to shoot extra frames to make sure you have multiple options.

One method i use that leverages extra frames is "focus bracketing". For example when shooting someone wearing glasses and shallow DOF ill autofocus on the eye then shoot at 9fps and lean into the picture. Nice way to make sure you get the eye in perfect focus and not the glasses frame.

I don't think anybody just fires extra frames for no reason or just for the fun of it. It never hurts though to shoot a little more instead of a little less though. I'm nowhere near as old as you but I also learned on a film camera, and there is definitely something to be said about that, but I would much rather have a few extra frames than not enough. Some of it boils down to what you are shooting too, there are some moments you can't recreate and can't afford to miss the shot while others you can take your time more and not have to take as many frames. I'm not saying people should just not pay attention to what they are doing and just fire off frames like a machine gun with no rhyme or reason.
