Default why do some people criticise singers who dont write their own songs

Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, two musical greats, didn't write their songs
Elvis didn't either
Pavarotti didn't write Nessun Dorma
the great singers from previous centuries didn't write songs either

what is wrong with that? Singing and writing are two different unrelated talents. Why should one person be great at both. Is it not better to get the best writer and the best singer to make the best song.
You wouldn't expect film scriptwriters to be the actors would you.
