Correct. Creating design and products serves others. Painting is personal. In my view, this is the difference between art and design. When creating art, I share my personal vision and emotions. Design is 'function over form', the goal of design is the UX and achieving a set of goals. The successful design/product is free from the designer's and creators egos, its purpose is to serve. You can use artistic tools and interpretation in graphic design as a medium, but you must deliver a balanced result within a set of rules and goals.
