The main problem is the idealistic insistance that having some financial motivations is wrong and therefore it automatically means the product won't be creative or innovative.
It MIGHT end up in some cases meaning that. But all it actually does mean, in and of itself, is that the artist is trying to make some money out of his works.
It's the same in music as it is in any other field, be it literature, movies or whatever. Film makers and authors can come up with novel concepts and innovative, creative plots, still with the intention to sell it to the common man. Commercial motivations do not necessarily detract from the art of it.
