I would say there are probably more Indy writers out there than 'the other kinds', so that's the reason for the emphasis. Too, most Indy fiction is free or is rather cheap to purchase, making it more accessible to the masses.

I'm still waiting to read the as-yet-unpublished novel by a gorilla. It might be more readable than the trashy, horrible, revolting, disgusting example I created in my earlier post.

Poetic? --- When the writer knows exactly what he or she is doing. Certainly. I seriously doubt that the writer of the tripe I made fun of knew what he was doing.

I would suggest we all make comma splices now and then. I know I have. But I would also suggest an abundance of such errors (and other errors) compromises the readability of a text.
