It is _not_ self-evident that a high profit-motive produces better art

in the same way it produces better widgets/business methods/etc.  In

fact, looking around at the output of today's highly-paid artists, an

argument could be made for the opposite.
In many cases, once an artist "hits it big", the quality (subjective,

I know) of their art drops off hard.
