Yes, the art exhibit takes the longest time to finish, but it means a lot to accomplish it (to me, anyway). As others have said, if it could be purchased from the store, it would lose its uniqueness and not mean so much.
I don't see how it would make cause Redd to lose his unique sales. Since Nooks Cranny shop could easily sell it over 5 million bells etc.
With Redd you would have a great bargain to save bells.

It would still take a lot of time to accomplish if genuine art is sold in Nooks Cranny shop, at a very high price. Say over 10 million bells or so. Because what's the point in having a 500,000,000 bells ABD balance cap if you can't use it? The highest current item that is sold in either the Nooks Cranny Shop or the Tailors is the Royal Crown. And that makes the Royal Crown very unique. However there should be much more items at a very high price. And so I thought about why not genuine art?
I feel like if everything could be easily bought from Nook's, then it would take away that accomplishing/satisfying feeling of hunting it down yourself. and like others have said, the paintings will lose value if they became reorderable ;;v;;
The genuine art could still have the "Not For Sale" sign on them. For the ones that you bought from Redd. But then when you buy the genuine art from Nooks Cranny Shop at a very high expensive price. It would then display in your catalogue the price 5 million bells for example of how much it costed. So you can order another one at that price and even send a gift to your friend who you know is having difficulty obtaining genuine art.
Of course the developers would have to change and adjust the 99,999 bells bag cap how many bells you can carry.
The only art that was ever been bought at Nook's was the Common Painting.
It's part of the challenge of completing the museum, without it there would be no point to Redd, and the value of the items would lessen. It's all part of the game's design. At least following one of the latest patch, they balanced out visitor rng, so getting Redd to visit is a lot more common.
The value of the items doesn't need to lessen. In fact they could be over 1 million bells.
I know that most feedback was a lot of "I don't like it" or "It would take away the uniqueness of Redd visiting" etc. But not everyone plays the game 24/7. And therefore there should be a second way of gaining the genuine art. Even though it will be very expensive in bells in Nooks Cranny shop. At least it would give players the satisfaction that they've saved up enough bells to buy the genuine art, if Redd wasn't on their island when they're able to play.
Plus not everyone likes to time travel because there are consequences which I did discover this week. And not everyone has huge amounts of bells. Since it varies who invest in bells for turnips.
I've got a number of friends who doesn't have a lot of bells. Who lives a busy lifestyle.
Redd the merchant dealer would still be unique, regardless if Nooks Cranny is selling the genuine art at high expensive price. But Redd will still be the better option if you want to save bells.
Also Nooks Cranny could only just sell the genuine art seasonal. Which means the shop would sell them during Spring randomly. Which would give players a goal to save up as much bells as possible before Spring season starts.
