All? No. There is never a 100% rule but the majority of those who write only because of paycheck and without it would not bother, then probably yes. Because they create a book that they think should attract money. Not what they really feel/think. So, the book is in a way - dishonest. It is created to satisfy the reader, it is being tailored for the reader's wishes and it is not fun. Very often it detiorates into milking...

That's why there are so many fantasy series that look the same...they are not inspiration they are cliches that attract money.
