Wasn't this the literally exact thing NFTs was supposed to prevent?

Yet nothing in NFT's prevent it. Even if every artist minted everything they ever post as an NFT it would not prevent it.
At most there would be a "first to file" authenthicity mechanism in the NFT storefronts like OpenSea.

Just alter a pixel or put a minor filter, you’re good to go.
If you have the artist's address you can always check that the NFT originated from them. I don't even understand why anyone (mostly non-crypto people) would think it prevents copy pasting.
No, NFTs serve no purpose. As far as use-cases go, they have none.
To be fair, they do actually have some, but all of those can be better served without a blockchain, which as implemented doesn't even help with decentralization, let alone other claimed things.
Well, unless you count market speculation - that's what NFTs currently excel at.
