This often, IMHO, equates to less talent but more business savvy.

I agree 100%. There are so many writers and painters and designers out there that will never sell a single thing because they don't have the knowledge or talent to market themselves. There are works of utter genius sitting on shelves around this country just because those that made them couldn't get other people to notice. And you're right, often less talented artists reach success just because they have the business savvy to get there (heck, Snooki sold 10,000 copies of her book and she can barely read a stop sign
).
