In the few days between submitting this and it getting posted, an addendum has occurred to me:

On the other hand, a substantial segment of the internet seems to be under the impression that the other kinds of art just show up ex nihilo with no artist actually involved in the process. ... Unlike with writing, I don't think any of them would endorse this belief in explicit discussion, but their actions make clear how they conceptualize it.

Sorry, some people are proving your point by dragging writing through the mud... as a visual artist, and not much of a writer, I agree with your point in the secret and addendum. The truth is that art, visual, writing, etc, is viewed as a commodity, especially nowadays. Just something to consume then move on, and unless you're on the top of the tree no one will think much about what you do as art, or at least not properly.

People are completely unaware of how it is to be an average artist because they can only think of big names when it comes to recognizing it as an art form, and this shows in how they treat artists and art who are not those big names.
