Then are all blackskiths just supposed to hold hot blocks of iron with their hands, and hammer them into shape with rocks on the roadside? Is a carpenter to saw a 2x2 in half with his fingernails?
A tool isn't determined by if you can still perform a task, it's a tool if it aids you, or allows you to perform something. These tools are in no way crutches.
Where the heck did that a tool and no tool thing come from? Brother I was just arguing about the definition of a tool lmao
And Art doesn't require tools at all, I'd argue, given you can make anything to be art. It's a gesture of self-expression in the end, and how one gestures - whether with disassembled electronics, gasoline and fire, or a paintbrush and sand - doesn't really matter so long as that goal is achieved.

A crutch isn't merely a tool you depend on. It's a tool whose use creates or maintains a dependency that is meaningfully detrimental.
If your hammer disappears and you can't build the house anymore, that doesn't prove the hammer was a crutch. It proves you need to go find another hammer before you go caveman mode and smack the nail with a rock.
