Design can be art, and art can be design. There is no simple answer to that question.
Money has nothing to do with it, nor does 'restrictions', like clients and technical stuff. All artists must pay for their supplies, and most must sell work to continue to do it. Those are simply restrictions, and there are also those implemented by the artist themselves (oil or acrylic? All b/w, or color? Etc., etc.). Self imposed limitations are just as valid as those from clients.
This is a discussion that comes up in architecture as well.
The only simple answer that makes any sense (to me) is that art serves no purpose, whereas design and architecture does.
Obviously, you can counter that too, but it seems to be the only reasonable answer.
