Graphic designers don't often don't create every little thing that goes into what they do, and often don't do their own illustrations (there are exceptions, but this is usually done by dedicated illustrators). Exact example I was thinking of: graphic designer does social media post for BigCorp, let's say Christmas themed. They're going to get an illustration from somewhere, do a bit of photoshop, add some text over the top, and then post it to social media (oversimplified, I know). Especially for a small shop where they don't have full time illustrators a lot of the illustration work gets outsourced. These days, some of it gets outsourced to Midjourney.
