I certainly agree, but doesn't it seem that in the grand scheme of things, pixel art is something that will stick along, maybe even with a resurgance? Look at other antiquated things like black-and-white photography. Monochrome photography originally arose because of a limitation of cameras, but in the end it still remained a popular art form because it's simplicity emphasized the contrast of a scene and gave it a much different feel. Sprite art can do the same thing. It's simplicity brings out details and something that might otherwise be a trivial detail could end up being a key part of composition.
