There is undoubtedly some truth to this for some fic writers. Tons of people don't know how to value their own work and default to massively undervaluing it. That's unquestionably a thing.

However, a fair few excellent fic writers are also just...people with pretty good jobs that pay them fairly well, who are genuinely only writing fanfic because they like it. Like, I have zero qualifications and zero upward mobility, so I very often find myself thinking, "Oh my god, it's a crime this person isn't getting paid to write!" But then I'll see the author's notes and, oh gee, turns out they're a fucking DOCTOR (or whatever), lol, they probably don't really care that they could theoretically be raking in an extra hundred dollars a month off their writing.

Yep, I mean I'm not raking in doctor bucks or anything, but I have a career and I also enjoy writing fanfic for fun, stress relief and a sense of community. That's what I get out of it, and that's pretty damn valuable to me.

I love going into their blogs and then finding out that lol they are also a writer. For very prolific people it's not hard to switch between original fic and fanfic! It's just switching between genres: there are different tropes and style choices.
