I'm not sure if it's so much that most people don't care, but that hand crafted items are more expensive. As evidence of popular interest, "craftwashing"[1] mass produced goods with terms like "artisanal", and "small-batch" can be an effective marketing strategy. Using the example of a bible, a 1611 King James facsimile still commands a hefty premium[2] over a regular print. Or for paintings, who would prefer a print over an original?

There's also the "Cottagecore" aesthetic that was popular a few years ago, which is conceptually similar to the Arts and Crafts movement or the earlier Luddites.
