Why should that apply to a musician and not a painter, sculpture or etcher? Why call a painter an artist? Art/artist is one large umbrella term that should cover all forms of creation not just a select few.

and this thing where being an "artist" somehow has some special value, should be abolished.

I'm not saying that being called an artist some how makes you more special. But I think calling a movie a form of art and saying video games are not implies that there is a creative process involved in movies that is absent in games. That is wrong. My point is creating a game, weather it is sports, board or video, is a creative process the same as creating a movie or a painting or song.
