Your argument does not support your idea. da Vinci created his own works. Bolting on other people's inventions is the equivalent of paying a bum to sketch things out, and having shops install things for you or having a body shop do things for you is the equivalent of paying a bum to both sketch things out and paint it for you; all you did was possibly gather some of the supplies.

The simple cosmetic things that some folks do require very little skill, if any, and are the creative equivalent of wrapping a gift.

Let's not embellish things.
