Back then singers were more likely to sing standards but even during the Rock and Roll era there were still singer-performers and vocal groups that didn't write their own material, that wasn't something that totally went away with Rock. Well again, in your opinion "...whoever wrote it doesn't have to matter." but it can matter for some music fans. And anyway artists that can write, sing and perform their own instruments show they are more versatile musically than pop stars who are handed lyrics to sing by song writers "what's his name?" and "who really cares?"
