That said, I get your frustration and would be unhappy. It is worth asking if a deal can be worked out/fee waived for long-term meds.

I guess we have a dispensing fee here. No idea how much. It isn't $11 though. Pill cutting (if over x number of pills) is a few dollars. You can get a script, but a vet can charge for that service.
I personally think it would be out of line for a vet to charge for writing a script. That would probably send me out looking for a new vet.
