Evil? No I don’t think so. I believe the correct word is idiotic.

This is not the first time art is destroyed upon purchase. Long before NFTs, a painting (banksy?) was shredded right after auction.

Not sure if anyone called that evil or idiotic

It was only partially shredded.

Nothing was actually destroyed, and the partially shredded artwork was a new artwork in its own right.
