I completely agree, you hit it spot on!
Look at Stevie's Soundstage CD and DVD. Even though it's not a new studio album, it had to be recorded, mixed and edited, packaged, and soon it will be released. Making her Soundstage release was probably almost as expensive as making a new studio album, because look at all the $$ that goes into it. Even renting the space to record it (Grainger Studio), and paying all the musicians and back-up singers, it all adds up and it has to be worth it in the end if they (Warner) are confident enough to spend the money on all of it.
