in the way that seems most profitable to them.

They may not be 'seeking to destroy the lives of artists', but that's a false dichotomy. The outcome may very well be that they will. They know, and they don't care.

Lots of people want to express themselves. They're wholly under-served in this world.

There's no reason someone who didn't pay the opportunity cost to learn to draw or to learn to play guitar shouldn't be able to make art and express themselves.
