They won't. They own the hardware, the distribution channels and the datacenters.
For comparison, despite making professional music is even easier (a copy of Ableton Live Lite and a few hours of studio recording for the vocals makes for less than 300$) every single music chart is still dominated by music made by corporations (Universal Sony / Time Warner, mainly).
On the other hand, music is less valuable than ever. From 20$/unit (the price of a CD) to 0.0004c for stream. Or you get lucky and somehow someone buys your music during bandcamp friday.
Just a subset of Musicians are still around because they're famous enough to get an audience for their tours and/or dj sets. Visual artists have nothing comparable to sustain themselves.
