I think the main reason artists are interested in NFTs is they want to be able to make a living creating their art. One great thing about NFTs is that it enables artists to make money from their work being sold in the secondary market (normally that's something where they don't see a single cent, you usually just make money from the initial sale of an artwork). E.g. ZORA has a creator share of 10% baked in. So every time an artwork gets sold, the creator gets his share.

I think it's quite silly that you basically accuse artists of "burning the world" without evidently doing any deeper research on the subject other than the most superficial things pretty much EVERYONE else is already talking about. Take a look at some iniatives from artists (https://zora.engineering/protocol or https://foundation.app/) and maybe you can get a better perspective on the whole topic without accusing artists of "having not really thought about it".
