So if the artist loses access to their wallet they'll never be able to retrieve payments accrued?

pretty much. You lose access to the wallet and don't have your private key backed up, then its gone. Most wallet providers bug you to back up your key seed and even test you to validate that you have.

Just like losing the key to an encrypted file.

But totally unlike losing my bank card or forgetting my pin.
