This is thinking about it inside out — from the teleology of society needing to run.
If no one promoted musicians, organized tours, etc, then buskers would be the extent of what’s possible.
If one person had to mine, refine, transport, and sell gold that person would do each of those things more poorly than a group of people who specialized.
You are getting at something, but it’s still unarticulated at least from my perspective: large systems of specialized workers produce the opportunity for people to construct and/or capture and maintain chokepoints. With undue control of these chokepoints a person can profit inordinately.
This is part of why anti-trust regulations exist: when the entirety of a class of production is under one coordinated control, that is the ultimate chokepoint. But what you are talking about is a smaller version of that.
