This is like saying Taylor Swift's grocery store deserves a cut of her royalties because she wouldn't be able to sing if she starved to death.
Song-writers get paid poorly because there is more supply of pop songs than demand for them. Taylor Swift's grocery store doesn't get a cut of her revenue because Taylor Swift could easily just switch to another grocery store. The same as she could easily switch to another song-writer (or write her own songs).
