Agreed. As with any new tool, there will be an adjustment period before the Overton Window catches up.
This is the current era's version of these hit classics:
- "If you use autotune,you aren't a real singer!"
- "Programming a drum machine isn't really writing percussion!"
- "If you use Photoshop, you can't be a real artist."
- "No real artist would use duct tape as a medium."
- "Video games can't be art."
- "Sampling is just ripping off other people's music."
Etc. The general public believed each of those things for a few years before accepting, each time, the simple truth.
Art is simply a conversation between the artist and the audience.
The medium, tools, subject, content, or even size of the audience are all just metadata which accompany the art. It will happen with these tools also.
