Extracted raster is blurrier than source

Question

ArcGIS Pro 3.3.1

I've brought this raster data into Pro by clicking the ArcMap link to download a .LYR file.

https://ws.geoservices.lrc.gov.on.ca/arcgis5/rest/services/Elevation/Ontario_DSM_LidarDerived/ImageServer

I'm using the DRA option in the Ribbon > Imagery > Raster Layer tab.

The raster .LYR file looks like this in Pro. The pixels are crisp.

But when I export my subject area using Clip Raster or Export Raster, the pixels are blurry (DRA is used here as well).

Why are the pixels blurry in the raster export?

This is the type of thing that validates wanting a standalone ProArcCatalog app that will allow you to do data things and view data without ANY symbology, transformation, etc.

I wish I could turn off all the '!help' Pro offers by automatically applying filters, styles, transformations, etc, etc. Give me Nothing Mode now!!! LOL.

I noticed that the Resampling Type was set to Nearest Neighbor in the source data.

But in the exported raster, the default Resampling Type was set to Bilinear.

So, I changed the Resampling Type in the export to Nearest Neighbor. That made the pixels less blurry.
