That doesn't mean there is an infinite number of any given collection.

For digital collections, there are an infinite number. The only finite thing, in this case, is the NFT.

NFTs are not digital representations of art. They don't create scarcity. They're digital trading cards: their scarcity is only relevant and verifiable in and of themselves.

Any given collection will have all the staying power of a beanie baby. Everyone moves on to the next non-fungible thing.

You're making a future prediction about an entire category invoking a specific instance from physical collectibles. Have all physical collectibles been subject to the fate of beanie babies?

Not all, but perhaps all those that appreciated in value so dramatically?
