I'd wager that the number of people who look at art in a museum or other environment and don't think about the price of that piece in detail dwarfs the number of people who think about art for speculation purposes by about four orders of magnitude.

The same happens with digital art and NFT. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people will 'like' or re-share a tweet or Instagram post without realizing the artist is selling it as a NFT. The audience just appreciates it, without thinking or caring about its dollar value. For a concrete example see[1] which is also a NFT[2]. Same with digital art in physical setting, such as Anadol's work which many audiences will not realize is NFT based[3]. There is "art" and there is "art market." If you look at NFT and only see a market, you will only find speculation. If you look at the "art" part, it turns out a lot of people just appreciate the work itself.
