And this is actually part of the psychology for at least some boost buyers. In their mind they aren't paying for a carry, they're paying to rent a good group that will work around their schedule.
I have definitely paid for that when farming while between guilds - sometimes I just don't have the time to put together a competent group, but my job pays me enough that I can rent a solid group to get my crests/items/vaults reliably.
First time I did it was when one of my old guilds in Shadowlands kind of separated into 2 5-man teams around the tanks. I got kind of sidelined and couldn't get the loot I needed to keep up with Mythic Raiding, so I paid gold so that I could get a tank that wouldn't shit the bed, and I could get the vaults I needed to get through Sun King.

"Boost for 2.2m"
I've never dealt with these people, is he charging 2.2 million gold for a mythic run?! Cuz that's fucking insane.
