I have paid a lawyer on Upwork $125/hour for a few hours to create TOS, Privacy, DMCA policy for my apps and sites. In total, he has worked 1947 hours: $243K. edit: that's his lifetime earnings across 84 different jobs, not how much I paid him. I paid him total of a couple hundred bucks.

1947 hours ?!? 1947/8 = 243,3 days or 48,6 weeks ..

What exactly took him so long ? Wasn't it mostly a copy paste from somewhere else with some adaptations ?

OMG, I haven't paid him that much. I mean his lifetime earnings on upwork. I paid him for a total of a few hours. That's all I needed.
