I think you don't know a lot of people in the art community if you think this. Good to see Krita standing with the people who actually use their tools.
I worked with 2D artists for 5 years, and the actual attitude is much more mixed than it might appear from listening to the vocal folks. Eventually most will accept this as another tech-heavy field like 3D CGI, especially when these tools will start to give more usable results in the hands of skilled artists. (they mostly don't, yet)
The new tools weren't made for or by artists. They're labor alienation machines that extract value from our communities and remove nearly all creative agency from the process. It's not cool to just dismiss this as people refusing to learn a new tool when that tool is the product of one of the biggest acts of abuse directed towards creative labor in decades.
I work in game dev and I kinda witnessed how photobashing went from "cheating" to "ok if for very early concept or internal usage" to the standard process among 2D artists.
AI tools will be much more artist-oriented than they currently are. You will be able to control parameters like denoise strength with your stylus pressure. LoRAs and prompt templates will be listed in a gallery like PS's neural filters. You will be able to preview colored thumbnails that generated by control net as you sketch in near real-time.
