Apple doesn't care about album cover art
Maybe album cover art is just less meaningful in the year 2021.  I couldn't care less what the album art looks like when listening to music on Spotify or YouTube.What I do care about is a current "About" tab in Spotify, a WikiPedia page, or maybe a well-maintained webpage for/by the artist.Not meant to be an indictment of visual art of this type, just suggesting that perhaps the "vector" needs to shift elsewhere.Good example is the backgrounds created by Cryo Chamber for their YT postings:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbKDlzQgIwc
