In practice it gives mega corporation music labels that control, over the artists even.
Which is why they lobby so heavily, and try to spread the above commenters narrative.

The solution to that is to help composers retain publishing rights, not open the gates for everyone to do whatever they want as long as the composer gets paid.
Songwriters frequently have their own publishing company. They share some of the money to run it, but retain control.
