Yes I agree , I have always made things and fixed stuff as a "hobby "for want of a better word, and as a career I spent many years working in Theatre making and designing and fixing stuff....

They just see it as what you do,your talent,or your skill... and it remains the freelancer's problem to help them to part with their cash... jeff
