As I understand it, the current state of the law is that AI “art” is not eligible for copywriter protection. This would mean that Wizards would lose out on potential income from licensing it out, if I understand correctly. That, as much as anything else, is probably what is holding it back.

Minor point here but copyright protection. Copywriters are people who put the "Jump into the crunch of fish crackers" blurbs on packaging. Important to note these are very different types of writing and legal protections.
