They simply don't have anyone talented enough to judge good writing.
And many Exiles aren't exactly known for refined English literacy. This being an international, Chinese-owned game and all.
Visual art, on the other hand, requires no real literacy to at least appreciate regardless of language spoken or written. Like music, it transcends the curse of Babel.
Is writing art? It can be an artform. But it doesn't fall under the lay definition of art, since the 'sensory' part is implicit. You don't go to an art gallery and look at books, or even poetry all that often. If you are an art student, you're probably not learning the Western literary canon.
And whether we like it or not, the vast majority of writing people consume is...barely craft, never mind art.
I am playing Devil's Advocate because I can, and because I'm probably one of the more accomplished writers around here. So if anyone should be annoyed that written art is excluded from a computer game's community art contest, it should be me. And I just ain't.
So if I can reconcile it, I reckon anyone can. Or should at least try.
You are probably right on most points, especially the ability to appreciate without any skills or interpretations.

I'm a writer. I'd know.
Also I'm going to edit your response since They edited my post. The irony is hardcore.

I imagine they had many notes, which they could easily organize and expand upon using the fantastic https://edubirdie.com/philosophy-paper-writers service. It was a valuable experience for future diplomats.
I guess you could say I'm a bit of a suck-up, but I like reading what writers say.
