There's a reason for that. Listen to his solo album Play My Game, where he has co-writes on every track. It's...something.

Geddy Lee wrote almost all of Rush's music. He just didn't write the lyrics.

Hey! He wrote some all-important screams. Skids'd never have been so successful without those

Fun when Sharon thinks he wrote Mamma I'm Coming Home just for her. Uh, no.
Lemmy wrote the song and it definitely wasn't written for that hideous bridge troll.

Sebastian insisted on co-writing a few songs on Slave and Subhuman.

Name some names; I would say most of the biggest names on the charts and a lot of the newest artists at least co-write some of their songs. For the “fossils” like Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton now, they have no need to (even though Aldean and Bryan have a few co-writes on their last albums), but when I’m looking at the credits of most country songs, most artists at least have a co-writing credit.
