If you’re selling a product or service promising objective utility for a user, maybe. Art is just...there, though. Maybe games can promise functionality that a consumer can expect to have working, but most mediums don’t.
Without objective functionality, “Haters” in an art context only have one thing to be vitriolic about - their own subjective aesthetic taste. Thus their words cannot contain anything of value to the artist.
