Corporate departments have to pay each other (and charge each other) for transfers so the bosses can figure out who’s responsible for profit or loss. And that’s more or less a good thing. Acting that way in a personal relationship, though, is almost always† a mistake
† I’ve imagined two non-empathetic people who manage to form a partnership on that basis. But it wouldn’t work for normal people… and it does have quite a bit of extra overhead.
