I wonder why no one is making good art anymore? 🤔

Boring people create boring art.
Zelda was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's childhood exploring caves in the countryside.
Pokemon came about from Satoshi Tajiri's love of catching bugs.
Hemingway and Tolkien's stories were shaped by war.
Your modern "artist" does none of that. They live a mediocre existence of sitting in chairs, and occasionally "travel" to sit in a different chair and stuff their face with ethnic yum-yums.
This isn't it. I have a boring life by comparison but I could create good art. The internet used to have great "art" before it all became censored.
A sterile culture that censors excellence leads to boring art. You cannot conform to this culture and produce quality art. If you do not conform to this culture you will never be given any opportunities to display your art and you will be censored if you do by the institutions of power in this culture.

CaptainTrouble is right here.
The guy who created Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, he created both of those in his 20s, living in a small po-dunk town in Texas. he had commited suicide at like the age of 32.
He created those by being well read and creative, not by leading an extraordinary life.
It can help, having an interesting life, but it's more about what CaptainTrouble says. Your output is severely impacted by your input. If the input you start with is ugliness, wokeness and the opposite of freedom, there's zero chance of you producing art that is good.
People could live a boring life and create good art if their minds aren't poisoned.
Just skimming over his life, Robert E. Howard was the son of a traveling doctor and seen some shit from the oil booms of the time: lynchings, gunfights, Indian attacks, etc. Between that and getting bullied in school, he took up boxing and a "might makes right" attitude in life. Hardly a boring existence.
A soft city boy who spent his entire life in a comfy chair could've never written something as Darwinistic as Conan the Barbarian.
