First: I'd like to hear feedback why my previous comment was heavily downvoted. Was it too condescending?

It's not about having access to content, but about owning the "thing". You might buy a painting and post high resolution scans of it: good enough for people to make very convincing copies. But it doesn't affect the ownership of the thing.

NFT is not so much the content, but a record of ownership on the blockchain. And for digital content, that "doesn't make sense" outside of digital realm, it's a very natural tool to produce ability to own something digital.
