#4What this is saying is that creativity is privileged and (unlike other forms of labor) should be given more than the market says it's worth.
Why should non-creatives go along with this?

#5Yeah this is why despite office jobs sometimes being described as 'soul-crushing' , the alternatives are not that great either. Service sector work means bad managers and bad customers. Creative works means non-paying or overly demanding clients and inconsistency of work/pay. Another problem is success at creative work typically requires top talent . Most people who aspire to be creatives cannot outcompete GPT/AI when it comes to writing for example or graphics design.

Placing the spam between "receive" and "the respect" is certainly a nice touch.

#8A functional society and government that values creative workers would provide protections against this kind of effective monopoly.

It's not market value, it's the forces in the middle skimming off the top as much as they want and then using that to enforce their position as a de facto monopoly. Did you even read the article on how much the market is paying and how much is actually going to artists?
