She said herself that she thinks normal stories with things like conflict and entertainment value are cheap and derivative.

Unless there's a very cranky interview or essay by her that I haven't seen yet (citation appreciated if you've got one), then what she actually said was that there exists an all too common assumption that stories require conflict, but that in truth there are lots of types of stories, many of which involve conflict but many of which don't.

Which I completely agree with. Just consider the six-word story attributed (perhaps apocryphally) to Hemingway:

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

There's absolutely no conflict there, but it is a story.

Of course there's conflict. It hints at the loss of a child through some means, whether it's miscarriage or something else, that loss and it's emotional and physical aftermath is the conflict.

None of that appears in the story, though. To take your position to somewhat absurd lengths, "A painting hung on the wall," could according to your rubric be called a story that contains conflict, because the existence of a painting requires an artist who struggled to create their art.
