essentially. a whole industry cropped up around hosting them, which mostly defeats the point
there are a lot of NFTs that are better implementations, the primary improvement being that there is no external hosting and they build the visual data into the smart contract function for a renderer to interpret
Ive done a lot with SVGs that way. others upload dependendies like three.js on the blockchain in other smart contracts, so when called they can return into yours and you have more sophisticated renders
I think artblocks does something like that, not sure
Most of the financial sector NFTs have an onchain svg too, like all the Uniswap liquidity pools
first movers are often poorer implementations of the technology, its up to the consumers to discern and if they dont then there is no incentive to act differently
