I think the point was that all of that extra stuff that you listed was due to Mining, not Jewelcrafting. It's true that you might very well get other cool stuff like the motes, rare ore, etc. However, that in no way opposes the idea of taking your ore, selling it and buying gems rather than prospecting with that ore in order to get gems. :)
However, I agree that I generally look at the production professions as a service rather than something I expect to make money from. That way I'm not disappointed when it's a huge money sink rather than a money maker.
