Agreed. The real way recalls stick you on the pay is by giving one single code for the entire job. Replace valve spring, 12.0 hours.

Under a normal warranty repair you would get paid to remove the engine, drain/fill the ac, remove the cams, replace the springs, change the oil, etc etc etc. It adds up that way, and some creative writing skills can gain several hours on a big job.

Recalls remove the "game" from flat rate. You do the work, it pays what it pays. Generally you break even or make a little bit. Sometimes you don't. It takes experience to move past that and do your job without rushing and being pissed off that you're losing money. You'll make it up next week.
