Maybe they would. Let's say you have a good writer, who wants to make an adventure game.
There's your problem. No game studio would let him make one! There's no other route than going independent. Besides, look at projects such as
Rise of the Hidden Sun. The developer has been employed by the comics industry (if I remember correctly) but these days he does something different for a living (beats me what). He works on the game on his spare time.
And btw, I think this is pretty good art.
And
this fangame (or to be more precise, amateur adventure game, as it's not a sequel to an existing franchise or anything) contains pretty good music. And other stuff is pretty good, too. It's better than half-decent at least.
Besides, you make it sound as if development studios are desperately hunting for workforce, promising them gold and diamonds for making games, but in fact, the workers are pretty much cattle. Baaa!
