And I always wonder why he doesn't get any sort of writing credit for that kind of thing. I know that Paul and John mostly came into the sessions with the songs in their heads and they "taught" it to everyone else, but surely music was still created on the spot by everyone else.

Not how it works. You'd have to rewrite a good portion of the music or lyrics to get added as a co-writer. Unless the main writer or writers wanted to gift you with co-ownership. Some bands have thrown fits and demanded that all songs be credited to the band and not individual members. That never works out well.
