I'm having a hard time how digital scarcity a la blockchain will benefit 'artists'. It's not like you can't make a copy of the asset once one person makes the purchase.

The scarcity is in the platforms, not the digital assets.

Wouldn't this be similar to numbered/signed prints?

You can not make a copy of the asset. Perhaps the underlying file, not the asset. You can take a picture of a painting or own a print of a photograph, that doesn't mean you own the original asset.
