My perspective on this meta - A) a lot of people seem to like taking pictures and it opened up a lot of new opportunities, but B) if you're a painter by nature, and maybe by profession, you may get hurt by this new photography thingy (financially hurt, which in primates equals hurt hurt). And liking painting does not entail liking photography and vice-versa. So C) It's just not the same thing. (C is the most opaque here and has the largest effect)
