The late Sergiu Celibidache was opposed to making records for an altogether different reason. For him, music was something alive in the moment it was created. One's thoughts and approaches to a given piece of music should evolve over time with the individual. Records, therefore, are like photographs. They fix an image in a given moment of time... but may have very little to do with the individual before you now, at this moment in time.
Hmm, so, as an artist, if I hear a full band arrangement for one of my songs and record it but can't afford to pay musicians to tour with, I'm screwed?

Celibidache's idea sounds more like a rationalization for recording studio phobia, but it does allow an escape from being forced to play your "hit" just as it sounds on the record. (We should all have that dilemma.)
