I wish the crews would receive more credit as well.

A good analogy would be if Hollywood films didn't list credits and pretended that only the director worked on the film and did everything by themselves.

It would be insulting for people to believe that a director did 100% of the work on one of their films and ignored the entire crew. Not sure why this doesn't apply to the art world where teams are way more common than people believe.

Do you know the names of the people who produced the marketing campaigns that sold the film to audiences? Highly unlikely, no one ever knows those names....

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

It's still partially this way, though. Credits in films are often unreliable or incomplete. Rather than simply being a record of history, credits are political and mingled with money, just like everything else.
