I mean I guess so but if art is decoration we sure wouldn't have animal jam, pokemon, steven universe, gumball, and super mario and SO many other things, cause as concept art, graphics, character making, editorial design etc are also considered art and people get paid a HORK ton for those. Saying art is just "for fun and decoration" isn't really valid in general, people who make art for fun and self expression like Takashi Murakami gets paid TONSSSS of money ($10,000 for even ONE piece, and some of his plushies cost $100 each. I've had a plush made by him that was $60 on its own.) and children and artists in general should be paid ALOT more, even if its in means of video game items.

Also to mention, without art [and this also includes entertainment like movies, games, cds, music, irl shows like circuses and broadway shows, as theyre a TYPE of art] and even small things like buildings, parks,  and so many other things [even buildings and other structures needed for our daily lives, even if they need more than just art and would need also arcitecture, there needs to be a way to make visual plans, and that literally is concept art] theres no self expression, happiness, and it would be a very drab, messy world. and if you aren't paying your artists right, you might never have those things. and that means paying them properly cause it's a job for artists too. there wont be things to do with your friends, you could even be put into a mental state of continous depression because there is nothing to really do or see, other than just talk, eat, etc.

It's still really unfair so I really dont think that 'explanation' should be brought up as it's not right at all.
