The problem is that people don’t understand what NFTs are and talk about them with the idea that they are about representing digital art.

NFTs are about representing non-fungible digital assets.

For some reason, NFT art took off (which I don’t understand), but that wasn’t what NFTs were built for. NFTs can represent digital assets that exist fully on a blockchain and aren’t tied to off-chain assets. A digital ID, a in-game asset, a digital license, a ENS name, etc… are all NFTs and don’t need to reference any odd-chain URLs or images.
