Sure; but then why does it matter whether you yourself make the literature? Shouldn't you be even more fulfilled by becoming an investment banker, and giving money to support a dozen novelists?
Yet I don't know any novelists who would enjoy that.
Maybe because their comparative advantage is in novels rather than in investments?
That sounds like a fully general argument; for example, replace “make the literature” with “cure people” and “novelists” with “doctors”.
