Art and philosophy have very limited or zero dependence on a material substrate
Not true for either. For centuries it was very expensive to paint with blue due to the cost of blue pigments (which were essentially crushed gemstones).
Philosophy has advanced considerably since the time of Plato and much of what it studies today is dependent on science and technology. Good luck studying philosophy of quantum mechanics back in the Greek city state era!
