I feel what your talking about is a non issue. Now, I think NFT is all a scam but I do believe that people think they can make money out of it.

NFTs are for digital artworks, it is an artificial way to create scarcity. A physical painting is already scarce. Burning an actual Van Gogh would be like burning down a house and saying it's okay because the deeds to the house are fine.

NFTs aren't for digital artwork, but digital artwork is one application of the NFT token standards.
