Was that sarcasm?

Bencia is quite the micro glass center. Fuel costs are through the roof. It can't be cheap to be on San Francisco/San Pablo Bay. I can imagine some possible workman's comp issues, from heat, and moving heavy things. Their families have to eat. Working part time for full time wages and then doing glasswork half time in order to generously gift all that wonder to the community or whatever distribution process they might be following means that there will be less glass, and maybe that without the practice it might not be as good.
Pay the artists. I love brc people doing art for free; I think it's a wonderful model. I don't expect that people can do that as their full-time gig.

The "art world" outside of Burning Man is a strange place, strangest most of all for the artist who is nothing more than a commodity from whom others can make money, even when the artist themselves cannot make a living. The value of art is often determined by hype, and is randomly determined by a handful of people in positions of influence or power.
