If I judge by the examples posted on OpenArt, Dall-e is currently perfectly happy to produce art "by [artist name]". What would they gain by starting to pay commissions? I doubt that will happen unless some legal action forces them to do it.
Even in that case, how would you decide which artists get the commission and which do not? They can't possibly track down authors of millions of artworks across the globe they scrapped when training the model. It seems to me that paying commissions to anyone would just mean that they acknowledge the questionable copyright status of the artworks produced by Dall-e.
