Oooof! That hurts, but also, what @fourthstartcg said.
No hard feelings. Each to their own.
You came out with a strong rhetorical statement, BUT since you asked, I’ll answer simply.
We appreciate the artist for some reason, enough to have an interest in collecting their subset of the Pokemon hobby. Much in the same way you would collect singer’s autographs. Why do you collect singer autographs?
Here are deeper responses and avenues. Of course, I put my thread at the top:

I was looking through some of my binder collection the other day, and had an idea for a nice casual thread: A giant thread dedicated to artwork.
