I find that it makes most sense to me to answer “is this and that art”-questions with a yes by default. Is it made by a human with the intent to convey a message? Art. Any other approach always seems to end in questions of taste.
Just because there are many doesn’t mean they are right (I don’t mean to offend). Art, I believe, is not in the eye of the beholder, but in the thought of the creator.

“Art is what you think it is.”
Never lost an argument with that one.
But there are so many people who are so confident in saying things that easily fit the definition you propose are “not art”
