If you ordered X board feet of rough stock, and then ordered it to be finished for a charge, then yes, it should all be 3/4. Otherwise you would have paid for the finished stock only, which may have been picked off a rack and not been milled at the same time, resulting in the differentiations. So it is on the finisher, IMO. 40% sounds a little high on the waste, but each lot is different. And most of the waste comes from the jointing or straightening as opposed to the planing. Cherry stock coming off my planer needs no sanding either. Either way, it sounds like it didn't happen the way you paid for it to happen....
