it's weird how the two nft meta-defining brands, SuperRare and Zora, both seem to try as hard as possible to not build for onchain creators

This feels difficult to answer succinctly, so I'll flip it:

Creators basically want a manifold + personal marketplace + means for distribution.

SR and zora want to lock creators in and are extremely inflexible. SR is increasingly worse at distro, zora is improving. SRs tools have mostly stayed the same, zora's have been continually cut down. Neither business model feels right for creators*.
