Well, you're stuck with the same "But what if no one's good at it?" problem and... well, you're right.
But, see, ignoring reasons like, "The author didn't think of it," there has to be a reason why everyone doesn't just tranfigure random junk into valuable objects and sell them for a zillion galleons (or even to Muggle jewelers - surely there are some enterprising Muggleborns out there, even if wizarding-world kids wouldn't think of it).
Basically, we don't see it, therefore it's not happening (and not destabilizing the world economy, etc.), therefore there must be a reason why not because I'm really, really sure that it isn't, "Out of the goodness of their hearts."
So maybe transfigured objects inherently look flawed or fake (uncanny valley)? Maybe the Wizarding economy values things with history, rather than simply [shiny rock]? I like the latter explanation, given the emphasis placed on blood and history and "in my family for generations" and so on.
