Because that's what 99% of the people employed for their artistic skills are doing.
I doubt AI will have much effect on the tiny number of people who can make a living by producing art to hang up in your house. It's the people doing illustrations for magazines/websites/packaging/etc. who are fucked in the medium/long term.
People will 100% start hanging AI art on their walls. The killer feature is being to customize the artwork to exactly what you want. It's just a question of time and not a lot of it either.
If people are going to hang (cheap) AI art on their walls, they never were going to pay a few hundred (or thousand) dollars for something that someone would consider art from an artist. They could have gone to the local poster store and purchased a random poster for $15 and tacked that to the wall (and there's nothing wrong with that).
Spending more than the cost of materials and you're not shopping for AI produced images anymore.
To be fair, I once paid an artist in Fiverr to create a portrait of my wife and I as Futurama characters. It’s on our wall.
I can now do the same using Dreambooth models of us. Right now that’s still too technical for most people but I’m sure plenty of people are working on apps to change that.

Otoh whole industries exist because customers prefer to be told what they want versus the mental load of figuring out that themselves. Are you really going to sit there and scratch your head coming up with some decent prompts for some wall art you don’t hate? How long is that exercise going to take before you give up and move on to other things?
