I agree and as an artist myself I've struggled directly with the challenge of using tools that I (historically) love while understanding the dynamics of capitalism, more specifically the fact that I only make money by selling what the customer actually wants, regardless of my personal feelings of how I go about delivering the thing customer's really want.
For instance, I can't imagine how successful someone would be without social media today for distribution. Artists who don't want to take the time to learn and use these tools would be, on the whole, less competitive in the larger market.
There are enough examples of artists who can feed themselves without the use of more modern tooling but this is rare.
