Regarding point 1, there are people who trade in songs and music, and I can assure you they have less reverence for music than the average person. In many ways, it's generally the consumer or purchaser or something that undervalues it. You have two camps of people, those who commission a work out of reverence to the medium, or to its author/artist, and those who simply trade in the resultant good. A song might seem like something an artist painstakingly crafts over the course of their life to someone in the first camp, or as something that can be banged out in an afternoon to someone in the second, like an ad exec, or a pitch man. As developers, we often deal with our own consumers in the form of project managers or product owners who expect a ship date, and need for the result to be fast, but we aren't exposed to consumers of other art because we (generally speaking) aren't artists who trade in that business.
