i was watching How It’s made, and there was a dedicated machine for a particular part of the product something as little as a proprietary bottle cap. and it was a huge machine. Who got the time to sit and invent the machine for that little piece. think of the variety of such designs, so does that mean you need a different new machine for any other special design?
also machines that make machines like robot machines making robot machines.

I used to work in a plastic molding factory, way back in the day.
The machine is huge, but the actual mold is relatively small and can be changed pretty easily to make different shaped things. It’s not like they need to make a new machine
So if a company needs custom bottle caps, they hire a plastic molding company. The plastic company just makes a custom mold, installs it in the molding machine, and makes a batch of bottle caps. The whole production run may only take a week.
