When one buys a painting at Christie’s, one doesn’t get the copyright over the image. It’s the same for NFTs. Why is this surprising to people?

The problem isn't whether you should or shouldn't get the copyright, that's ultimately up to the producer of the NFT. The problem is the rights aren't being clearly communicated to the buyer upfront. Also, the terms of the NFT should be in the NFT itself, not hidden on a website.

This. Some NFTs come with full IP rights, some with the physical original. It’s not easily discoverable in most cases.

Sellers and market placed greatly benefit from the unclear IP situation. Though in the most "art" NFTs, e.g. not games, people are just tossing money around to show how rich they are, there is no interest for them in the art itself.
