The scarcity comes from Picasso painting it. There are also great paintings Picasso did not paint which are worthless.
It is not artificially scarce. Picasso could've painted a Guernica every month for the rest of his life. Even then, he would've only painted a few thousand paintings. Instead of doing that, he painted the other thousands of paintings...
Any NFT could have infinite copies. You simply decide how artificially scarce you want it to be. Picasso could not have painted infinite Guernicas if he so chose.
You can buy a print of Picasso's works. The value doesn't come from the art. It comes from the fact that Picasso painted it.
It's the same way for collector guitars. People want guitars famous musicians played. There are plenty other versions of that exact guitar. But they weren't played by the famous musician. That's what makes it truly scarce.
