I think the parent comment is referring to pitches sent to successful pop artists who write none of their own lyrics or melodies and take no part in the development of the music beyond recording their vocals. Their personality, looks, and voice are their valuable contribution, not their songwriting/production abilities. They’re always looking for hit songs to jump on and record, not write themselves.
What you are describing is a work loop where the artist is being pushed to the outside, and in the medium/long term this will make artist's working lives much more precarious. And just like with NFT scams, most artists saw the impact to their material interests much more clearly than the tech bro set imagined they would. It is a lot more likely that producers will simply cut artists out of the loop and produce mountains of bland but acceptable crap at near 0 cost, instead of keeping an artist on retainer to re-record/edit songs.
