I'm not sure this is true. if it were, there wouldn't be launch windows because any correction within a given orbit would be, as you call it, "a fine adjustment" yet we clearly do have launch windows. Also if you're in a geostationary orbit to deliver one payload you have to leave that orbit to get to another geostationary orbit because there are other satellites in your way.

It is a fine positioning, which takes time. The launch windows get you to the right spot right away. Someone paying for a dedicated launch doesn't necessarily want to wait around to get their satellite operational. Someone launching for cheap on a rideshare might be willing to.
