I don't know the answer, but I question this.
It doesn't matter to me how someone gets their quilt finished but if the rules ask for the name of the quilter, it should be given. I wouldn't call it blatant advertising, in any case. I know a lot of show attendees want to know the names of the longarmers so they know where to bring their own quilts.
A good friend of mine quilts for others - even if the computer is driving the machine, she still has to stand there in case something goes wrong. It is physically hard work, and I don't think she gets paid nearly enough for what she does.
