There is not, and will (likely) never be, a need for NFTs. They are a solution looking for a problem.

Some (mostly already very wealthy) people want them. That is not the same as a genuine need.

People are free to do what they want with their money. But it's just stupid to do it on a monster like ethereum. You could burn toiletpaper to power a datacenter. But it is stupid.
