Artists make art.
Metallica makes money.
I always kinda thought the idea of music was to make art. Not money. Metallica didn't need money. They were already rolling in it. But yet they still felt the need to dumb down their music and exploit the average listener, and the radio.
I'm not saying it's impossible to make creative music and still have commercial success, but it is rare and in the case of Metallica post Black album it's non-existent.
Anyone can listen to whatever they want and that's cool, I just don't see how Metallica is creative.
