There are some use cases like concert or event tickets where the scarcity is not artificial

  Right but those cases are already solved in a cheaper and less complex way and have been for an extraordinarily long time.

    Wow. Imagine actually thinking this.

      This is a pretty empty comment. Access to scarce events has been a solved problem for thousands of years the Ancient Greeks used tickets for example. NFTs don’t really add anything to this system even in the secondary market aspect. So yeah, imagine thinking this when billions of events over thousands of years have successfully negotiated the problem.

  Concert tickets are an absolutely pointless application of a blockchain. The concert venue is an unavoidable central authority. You don't need to melt the arctic for a fully decentralized trust-nobody system that merely manages a database of a single ultimate authority that can't be removed from the equation. This problem can be solved with a REST API and it will have the exact same amount of (de)centralization and trust.
