Writing is not a problem and in essence not a value-creating task. Writing WELL, on the other hand, is. However, justifying paying x dollars per paragraph or whatnot will always be closely connected to how fast that job will help pay for itself and turn a profit. Which, in our industry, often relies on how much traffic is sent to the site that the text is used on.
Put it this way, I sometimes create gallery templates, if time allows me, for which I charge a VERY high fee, compared to industry averages. However, I also guarantee a 10% CTR with those, to justify the price. But that 10% CTR will be worthless to someone who only gets a very limited amount of traffic to that gallery, so there would be no justification to buy a template for me no matter how high a CTR I'd guarantee. Someone with LOTS of traffic, on the other hand, may well break even and make a good profit on the price within a day or less. Same with text on sites, some just can't justify the expense, especially in the case where the paysites are fresh out of the box and they have no idea how many will promote them.
