Most everything I gather is more like 500-1000 a pop. Just my 2 gil on this topic.
High level crafts are typically done with macros. However, DoH bots leave their scripts running for 24+ hours, if not more, and then flood the markets with the products they make. Some even attempt to dominate markets by severely undercutting anyone who tried to “encroach upon” it.

Crafting isn’t hard by any means. But it should still be rewarding for those who put in the time and effort to level their crafters should they seek to craft for profit. DoH bots can make that very difficult.
