OTOH, I've heard things produced by supposedly "real" studios -
treated rooms, expensive gear, closet full of mics, testimonials on

Unfortunately that's often what the client wants. I'm sure Katy Perry etc.
don't use the bedroom boys, but I doubt they could do much worse :-(
I'm not talking about things like "I think use of Auto-Tune should be
a capital crime" but just amateurish sounding production - badly EQ'd
etc. Stupid production decisions like setting up a singer/guitarist
with one mic for both voice and guitar and not even doing a good job
of that.
That isn't that stupid. Well, the 'not that good a job' part maybe.
How much more labor could it be to set up a mic for both and
get a balance between them?
It's not about the labor. Seriously, ever punch up the vox
mic and the gtr mic, and listen for phasiness? Hey, you
got vocals in my guitar mic.... no, you got guitar in my vocal
mic
