I’m surprised that you seem surprised by this.

And what shall we do about it?
Lately I’ve been thinking I don’t want to be a researcher/professor anymore.
I think nowadays the only way you can find creative freedom is art. Since you absolute control over your work (literature, painting, etc).
who do you think would subsidize you for anything your whim moves you to do?
artist whose creative freedom moves them to create things no one is moved to pay for, starve. the preverbal starving artist is not a myth. and most artists making a living by producing formulaic kitsch.
