I imagine this commercial/personal art dichotomy has existed ever since the first time someone paid for art. Like how there’s always been folk music played around campfires in contrast to the operas and orchestras where the local lord’s funding goes.

Also the “people these days aren’t going to want to make art unless they can commercialize it” sentiment.
For as long as there has been art, doomsayers have been complaining that they’ve lived through the last of it to be produced.
