My point was that it does not HAVE to be all artsy fartsy to convert. You can be the best technical and lighting expert on the planet, but if your content does not convert well for the end client buying, none of that bullshit matters.

Right. When you can't see the forest through the trees, there's a problem.

I am not saying that I do not agree with some of your points nor that there is not a time and place for artsy fartsy. But the fact remains that if you do good work, and cater to your clients, then you should be able to remain in business. Cost is a factor in who gets the gigs, but I can assure you that it's not the ONLY factor, especially for some large company especially if they are shooting high end stuff as you cite. My guess is that there is a lot more to the stories laid out in the thread.
