I never said Patreon is passive income but it's consistent. The artist gets money for their output every month. People are only going to pay so long as they feel they get value. Unlike a subscription for rarely updated software you can still use that Wallpaper you got from being a patreon even if you're not subbed anymore.
NFTs aren't passive either nor are they consistent.
The whole point of NFTs is the scarcity aspect. Sure, you could maybe do 100 $10 NFT "prints" instead but now they need to manage that aspect and predict demand.
NFTs mimic the meat space art world with all the same problems like infrequent unpredictable sales with few benefits like convenience.

Scarcity of ownership not necessarily access
Patreon is also a huge rent seeker, we can do better for artist direct payment
Patreon is not passive income - people expect regular updates and special work/insight for private audience
In terms of consistency, meat space has big issues with accessibility and reach
Lastly you can look at the results. Patreon is not that widely transformative for giving artists livable income
