If it’s a book, you have the manuscript but no research, notes, or prior revisions. If it’s a program, you have the compiled binary but no source code or anything you would’ve learned writing it. Etc.

This sounds slightly like the premise of the movie Paycheck. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338337/
Personally I mostly prefer the experience of doing things. Writing books, coding software, building things… They are what brings value to me on a personal level. Looking at the kids’ playhouse in the garden brings value because I built it. Writing a book would mean something because I wrote it. If I just magically had it, it would be meaningless, even if it happened to be what I would have written, had I been arsed to do it myself.
