Producers also NEVER

if this were true. (It also assumes that's an exhaustive list!)
Production studios are still businesses, and running a business is never free, or even cheap. And it is most certainly never "anytime you want" unless you're so successful in the music business (of all businesses!!!) that you can actually afford to operate on your own schedule.
