Maybe you have a different viewpoint of the ecosystem than me? Everyone I know that's used this is not an AI expert but still tech savvy. None of them have trained their own models. The path of least resistance for them would be to work around the "protected" art if they were doing something more custom
For someone with more effort and time to dedicate to cloning a specific artist, maybe not as useful. But I know less of this type of use case/the tools in that part of the ecosystem

Look at something like Civitai [0] and the number of users submitting things there: pretty much everything there (there’s a few things like poses and tools that aren’t) is one kind or another of trained model (though some are merges of existing models and extractions of one kind of model from another.)
