But artists are generally forced to temper their work for commercial purposes

that's true but the end user doesn't know about this until you tell them. it's not part of the experience until you make it that way.

I don't know about that. The video posted in the OP is about the most unoriginal sad piano theme you could think of. I think you could probably find hundreds of almost identical samples of royalty free music just like it on the internet in about 5 minutes, because writing a basic minor key melody on piano with some synth in the background is one of the easiest ways to create a sad atmosphere.

That's all my point is. The creator of that theme was just trying to match a brief. He did a good job of it too. But this is my argument. His brief was to create music to listen to while watching that specific scene in the movie. It was never written to just listen to by itself. I think the creator would have written something totally different if that was the case.
