Design is also about art, and experience counts for little in this regard.
Not sure... why from your perspective "experience counts for little in this regard."? Isn't experience that enable us to be more independent and avoid to fall into mistakes repeatedly?
I tend to differentiate between ~design and ~art, simply because the beauty that came out of a design is because it's the result of a plan and executed accordingly through a specific process, and has an objective: satisfy its users' need through a specific functionality.
This does not mean that art could be part of it, as an inspiring muse expressed through different forms that satisfy our six senses. Aesthetics that an art piece posses are usually a juicy fruit, rape to be born from the expression of its creator's ideas, from the need to communicate something and to send a message to whoever is ready to read, interpret, and receive it. Art exists mostly to satisfy creators' needs more than the receivers' appetite.

The experienced serve as supervisors and reviewers to avoid these problems that a young, inventive mind full of artistic fervor can cause.
I don't really agree with your last paragraph. Designers do work with art, and that art sells their work on its own. You see, more objective and obvious options in any segment will always be suppressed by aesthetics if they are truly welcome. Buildings, furniture, packaging. As much as physical standards matter, design is what makes many of these things more valuable in the eyes of those who see them, and they are mostly excellent works of art that sell well.
