"Normal expressionless faces" to quote OP have been a big part of the foundation of "art" for ages. Hammered in marble, paint brushed on canvas, made with tiny mosaic pieces, and any other possible medium. What makes "hammered in glass" shallow and uninspired compared to any of those?
The exhibitions section [0] has examples of abstract pieces of art too.
If it's shallow and uninspired, why not make a better version? The medium is freer than Free Software. A sharpened hammer, a pane of laminated glass, and some time.
There is no obligation for a critic to produce better work than what is being criticized and it is a cheap and dishonest rhetorical tactic to imply otherwise.
I 100% guarantee you have criticized things without trying to produce better work yourself. It is a deeply dishonest standard.

How hard can it be?

$$$$$ for supplies, you could probably take up oil painting for cheaper.
