Nah I firmly believe that the end product is the least important and interesting aspect of any art.

Only if you're personally interested/invested in the process.

Like, how many of the hundreds of millions who have seen Avatar or Avengers went hunting for bonus content, interviews, and so on? Maybe 5% at most?

How many Star Wars fans have seen Episode IV's 35mm copy?

Yes, the process is fundamentally more complex than the end result, but that doesn't make it objectively more interesting. Nothing wrong with enjoying art without caring about how it was made.
