There's more to songwriting than just putting some notes and words together.

Yes it is a production credit
And I agree with the bolded but you did not describe that

I agree but once again that is not what you described.
Your description had more to do with co producing, musical arranging and composition.
For instance, if a singer wanted to change the vocal arrangements to a song than the singer would get a songwriter credit. That is another way they could get a credit without actually writing the song.
However, if a singer wants to change the musical arrangement of the song in which you described (radically changing the sound) then that is a co producer credit.
