Tech isn't creative and artistic? Why is an "album" worth more than a graphics engine, drawing app or game?

If anything music is overvalued. I'm surprised we haven't automated Skrillex and all that house crap yet. ;-)

Why is a Picasso worth more than paint?

Because the introduction of GPU's didn't come until 30~ years ago ;-) also it's a single physical item. It's more of a collective piece than actual art, at least today.
