Musicians, like many other professions (I could mention scientists as another example), are usually not into what they are doing because of the money. They sell their music because earning money enables them to play more music, not wasting their time with other work. So I'm not so sure they should mind, as long as they still make enough to keep it going.

Actually most people have some passion they would like to spend on instead of working. Maybe we could arrange it so that we all shared the boring work equally and then spend the rest of the time pursuing our passions? Then musicians could be musicians — and I could be what I want too!
