Generally speaking I agree with this. Particularly if they are a professional. One shouldn’t say, “Oh. Would you make me one of those?” Or “can you make a thing like this for me?”
With one rather striking exception:
If that requesting person had just written a check north of $20,000 to pay for your tuition to art school and they ask you to do a photoshop of a picture of your sister, the answer there is not, “I’ll need some remuneration,” it’s “yes, mom.” This one is not a favor, it’s a patronage.
