>so many people don't do their own designs, but model concepts of other people (with more creativity and taste)

You make this sound like it's a bad thing. Being able to accurately translate concepts from 2D to 3D is invaluable. There's space for both of these separately and I'll even dare to say that it's better to be a better modeler than a better concept artist. From the stories I hear out in the wild, when inside companies, concept artists will constantly draft work that goes straight into an "idea shelf" so that they may potentially be explored at a later date by the company. A straight modeler may not be able to create his own concepts but he'll have plenty of work lined up for him regardless because of this.

Doing concepts for other people doesn't mean you lack creativity and have "bad taste", that's outlandish.
