Your example of Wilco's album only costing a few thousand dollars is completely bogus. This was not a cheap album to produce. I bet Jim O'Rourke is getting more than a few thousand dollars for his job of mixing alone.
Even with guitarist Jay Bennett having his own studio and acting as engineer, Reprise paid Wilco to make this album, Wilco bought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot from Reprise for $50,000 (a steal). You can bet Nonesuch shelled out a bit more to get their hands on it.
