- Consistently coming up with good melodies/hooks along with lyrics is fairly difficult to do time and time again.

- Without writers/composers the artists would have nothing to perform. It goes both ways.

- They’re not asking for all the revenue. They’re asking to be fairly paid for their portion of the writing. The artists still get their portion, as does the label, etc. They’re also asking artists to not take credit for writing that they did not do.
