People do make art and be creative still so I don’t know why you’re asking why they don’t.
And people still do it because making art is a thing humans do and like to do. People still sew even though they can just buy clothing.
Acting like there’s a barrier for entry to make art is a flat out delusion. Humans were making art on caves with chalk and dirt they found. You can make art with a stick. Acting like artists are rich elitists is the most ignorant and incorrect thing I’ve ever read on the Internet.

You do realise a barrier to entry doesn’t mean that something is literally impossible for everyone, but that it’s an obstacle for some?
It’s disingenuous comparing art someone would want to look at produced today to literal caveman drawings.
And yes artists are absolutely rich elites, the often very literal top 10%, feel free to look at my other comments ITT for why I’ve found this to be the case.

Dude artists are some of the most broke people out there, to the point where the starving artist is a trope, what are you smoking?

I only smoke nicotine, cheers. I’ve heard of the trope but have never seen an example.
