So the value of art is directly tied to talent in your opinion?
What's next, value of products being directly tied to their quality??
What're you defining 'value'? Monetary, sure but what of emotional value? What're you defining as 'quality'? What's high quality art to you? What's valuable in your view? I garuntee that's not the same for everyone.

What do you mean by VALUE? What do you mean by QUALITY? What do you mean by PRODUCTS?? What do you mean by WHAT???
Very true, since it's all relative no one should ever make an aesthetic judgement. No one should have thoughts about the value of art. No one should have any reaction to art other than an acknowledgement of its existence.
Tbf it’s more about their necessity than quality.
You think it's not?
No, the value of art is specific to each individual. A picture made by someone with no talent can be of enormous value to someone because of what it means, the relationship they have with the creator, the emotions it makes them feel etc.
Tieing value to talent suggests that a picture by someone who has trained for 5 years is somehow more 'valuable' than a picture by someone who has only trained for 4. Why? What metric is being used to determine 'value'? What metric determines 'talent'? Art is entirely subjective. To try and define it's value is missing the point, because it means something different to everyone.
What are you doing, bro

What do you mean value?
Emotional value? No. Many parents value their small child's drawings.
Market value? Mostly yes. Especially in commercial art like art commissioned for book covers. Untalented artists aren't going to be very successful.
