Many crypto platforms are in the business of selling what is otherwise free.
The two ways it can work is:
1) patronage, tipping, collecting - which is about deepening the relationship between creator and collector
2) speculation on virality
These serve different human needs and are best represented by distinct primitives - nfs for collectors and coins for speculation.
Coins will do better on volume by definition because it’s viral and has a profit motive. But collecting is special.
Both valid. It doesn’t make sense to be a maximalist in either direction.
But it’s important to know which one the platform is serving.
