"However, there is another side. Writing from someone else's point of view on unfamiliar or rather uncompelling (to the artist) subject matters can force an artist's mind to expand and take in new experiences (which can potentially strengthen an artist's repertoire).even help an artist to create better written stories or more illustrious art."

You are aware that by saying "can force an artist's mind to expand", you are implying that an artist who doesn't act in this way is limited or narrowminded.

That is the genesis of the problem. 

One must not assume that his/her point of view is superior. An artist has the right to do whatever he/she wants to do without fear of being viewed as narrowminded, old fashioned, limited etic.

I implied the potential of one's mind to expand if forced to take on different subject matter and allow oneself to be vulnerable.  It won't happen with everyone, and personally I feel that if they get burnt out and start hating the process of writing or developing for new subject matters, then they shouldn't continue to be forced to.  It could be enlightening for some however in small amounts.  They don't even have to put them into practice; just being exposed to them a little (books, movies) and they can take or leave what they want within those new ideas.

I wouldn't want them to end up hating their profession.
