Where you got the inspiration for a plot, song hook, chord progression, is irrelevant. The real work is turning it into something that people will love.
The Beatles could write hit songs in 15 min because of 1000's and 1000's of hrs they put into mastering their craft. Not to mention elite, natural musical talent to go along with it.

There's a difference between mastering your craft and producing product.
Analogous to the difference between Michael Jordan practicing and playing in the finals.
That's an artificial construct where the time is purposefully constrained to present the 'product,' but the comparison remains.
Creators lean on their entire life experience in their creative process. That doesn't mean a great idea fleshed out in a few days becomes a better idea with more sitting around ruminating or tinkering or fine tuning.
Sure, plenty of great idea require a great deal of legwork to bring to fruition. For instance GoT with elaborate sets and locations, or stop motion animation, or CGI extravaganzas. But a lot of that detail intensive time consuming work is separate from the creation.
