> how are they gonna define who is an artist and who is not?

Who would? Would you?

> Why a government can define that this specific group of people should get some grants

Because that's what governments do.

> but not for example teachers

Teachers have regular incomes.

> or Uber drivers?

The hurdles to be a taxi driver and an Uber driver are mostly the same, so we mostly don't have Uber drivers. We have taxi drivers instead, who also answer Uber calls when they want to get exploited while they enrich someone else.
