If you have an accountant, is that a person you pay to pretend to give a shit about your taxes? Is an orthopedic surgeon someone you paid to pretend to give a shit about your broken leg? You should be able to recognize why this would be an unhealthy and unhelpful framing device.

I just don’t agree that these are good analogies.
