That's quite true Merctime.
OD&D doesn't mention constructing strongholds (or towers) for magic-users. Instead it discusses the magic-user's ability to enchant items and (explicitly) sell them. So while fighters and clerics can potentially earn revenue by protecting/taxing settlers, magic-users can potentially earn revenue commissioning/selling magic-items.
