Artists need to eat.
Art needs to be a commercial success to defend itself from commercial successes it hurts.
Computing industry notably positions itself as replacing art (I don't mean digital art like tracker music or 3d modeling), in many things where, say, car industry doesn't. But the suggested replacements are not that. Similarly to how journalism can only be adversarial and offensive to most points of view, otherwise it's just public relations, because it doesn't improve anything. Improvement is always adversarial.
