I think part of the matter is that people who can program have much better alternative career options. Making money from art is much harder than working for an established company. Video games and animations are essentially computer art, but their wild appeal has paradoxically made them mundane. Kind of like AI; any AI that goes mainstream will become just software. Finally, creating non-abstract art with programming is extremely difficult, and people don’t like abstract art much. Even when they do, a big part of the appeal is contextual, not coming from the standalone work.
