I hear you: not going to argue what's a major artist but their rarity among those that make a living performing is undeniable. Rainsong makes around a 1000 guitars a year, certainly much fewer than the big wood producers. But many artists use rarer custom guitars not Gibson, Martin or Taylor. You just don't see Carbons out there?
