Like I said, when talking about morality you're talking about a subjective perception of value. All the other issues I mentioned, like them not following the rules, have objective criteria to say "yes they broke the rules". If your perception of authenticity includes gathering inspiration not from the originator but from a tool that samples art for you, then you would obviously conclude the end result is authentic. If however you define authenticity as something uniquely in the domain of the living, then they would not agree with you.
The rules being "idiotic" is a different issue from whether using pre-existing assets as placeholders is okay. For instance, one could argue that genAI, even during the concept phase, is an unfair advantage like taking steroids for a sports competition. For the purpose of fairness they have a blanket ban on genAI, not simply because "AI bad".
So you would say a godot competition is silly because it restricts developers from using other game engines? Now you're just being silly.
If you don't like the competition then don't participate in said competition. Other people don't agree with you that it is an arbitrary rule and that's okay.
In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.
