Those monetization options pay less than you think they do for the vast majority of creators.
The US copyright regime has been responsible for an amazing exponential growth in IP creation because creators are financially incentivized to create.

Traditional publishing has the same issue to a far greater extent, due to the inherent barriers to entry in that model. Something like Kickstarter or Patreon is actually far more equitable. (Bearing in mind that this sort of content provision is very much a superstar sector, with a handful of unicorns and lots and lots of also-rans, so "more equitable" is still quite relative!)
