You've obviously, then, never done a professional publication contract
for any of these type of works. Every contract I've ever seen or
signed for written work has had an indemnification and warranty, and
I've seen one or two for music that have similar clauses.

The warranty clause is not really all that important for end
users. It's important for publishers and redistributors.
