It is a nice composition, but it's also something someone without a BFA could've done, and someone without raw talent could've done with some experimentation. And even the least of these are looking more attractive to marketers and media makers.
Now you may value this democratization of art, I certainly wouldn't be creating renders without it, but consider those who spent years developing disciplines and putting their heart and soul into applying their hard-won skills just to see their efforts and results disrespected by the market because of the cheapening supply of pop-art.
I'm not one of them, but just imagining it makes me wanna be a dickhead on their behalves. Before you go complaining about elitism, consider someone may have clawed their way to places few have had the determination to.
