I’m curious about this distinction. What’s the difference between “raises” and “begs”?
I’m more curious about why you don’t see a distinction. Can you show me the usage of “begs” to mean “raise” in any other situation?
Do you raise children? Do you raise concerns? Do you raise animals? Do the Amish raise barns?
Can you say “begs” in any of those situations?
Do you see a street beggar or raiser? Beggars can’t be choosers, why can they be raisers?
Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.
The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.

“Begging the Question” is a logical fallacy that’s completely different than a thing raising a question.
