These two blog posts have only shown that Jeff is unwilling to make a game with good art (and that's fine). The posts are more about convincing himself that that's ok.
I don't think there's much general learning to be gained here other than maybe some budget numbers if you've never thought to price it out. As Jeff admits, the competition makes the art budget work. Its really just a production decision on what you're looking to make and what expertise you have access to.

I really don't think they are - people have ragged on the graphics for at least a decade and he's stuck by his guns (profitably, for 25 years!) These posts are about promoting the new game - he knows how to play the internet outrage machine for marketing.
