I was thinking about this problem last night, and I think it's all to do with freedom. The graphic designer is not free - the graphic design is intrinsically constrained to the brief and to the wishes of the client. The artist is completely and utterly free.
Sometimes a graphic designer becomes so well respected and famous - that they're given the same level of freedom that an artist is usually accustomed to. In which case, graphic design transcends the commercial to become art (even if it's used to sell a product).
