Not many? Then why should an artist have to do that, just to make a living?

No, that's not what that means. They're not saying do twice the amount of work for the same profit, they're saying that if you want to continue to get paid, you have to continue to work. In every other profession I can not expect to keep getting paid for work I did yesterday. If I want another paycheck today, I have to do work today. I don't just make something and then expect to get paid over and over for the same thing.
