And that’s a term we haven’t applied but can apply now to technically good art following the common trends at the time, yet lacking something interesting to it, e.g. numerous portraits, template studies et cetera

I’d think funding is important…
If you’re getting paid to do it, commissioned directly, or funded by a patron; you’re an insider.
If you’re doing it without promise of pay, and just hoping to sell it afterwards (or not) you’re an outsider.
Put another way, professional / tradesperson vs amateur.
