partly this is because education establishments insist on copyright assignment.

My mother got hit with this when she tried to patent the seamless sweater invention she had - suddenly the university stepped in and said it was their invention. Sure enough, she'd signed over all copyright when she started the course.

but just because it happens now doesn't mean it's morally correct. In an ideal world, do we want this?

In the art school sense, it actually impacts one of the most critical questions an art student has of themselves,

"Do I try to make my career defining art now or do I use this time to explore a variety of subjects and mediums?"

The fact the artist doesn't own the copyright to this early work tilts the question to the latter statement.
