I disagree with your assertion. As a developer and entrepreneur, I get why you'd say that. As an artist (I have a B.A. in Fine Arts), I believe that sentiment is something we need a LOT more of.
Not everybody has the ability to make something new. That ability is powerful, empowering, and affirming. I believe that if someone, by virtue of creating something that didn't exist before, ended up feeling better about themselves, then frankly, that's PLENTY worthwhile enough. We need MORE people who feel good about themselves in this world, not less.
