longer gets done, or the outsourcer starts to charge for it.

That was a famous bit about the BBC record library. It cost more to hire
an LP from them than it cost to buy - assuming still current. So some
producers sent an assistant out to buy the record instead. But I'll bet
didn't include how much sending that person cost.
