For individual people I don't think all art is just throwaway like that. Iconic music like Kanye or Michael Jackson were part of people's happy memories and experience living. They left a lasting impact on music and pop culture.

For your thought experiment, I don't think we as a whole threw away the scientific work of the nazis. We have a concrete answer to that

I don’t think people are always aware of just how much stuff is built by really terrible people or on the backs of really horrible things.

Sure, some people take art seriously. But throwing it away is super easy. You don’t alter your quality of life much if you burn all your Harry Potter books even if that was a defining part of your childhood. Removing technology from your life on the other hand is hard. Doing something that has little consequence to your life is kinda meaningless in the scheme of things.
