Hmmm....."better results"......."fine art". 

I'm guessing 'better' depends upon your vision of the final image and
the subject you're shooting. 

I've heard 'fine art' defined as "art that is created for its own
aesthetic purpose rather than for a practical, utility purpose. Art for
art's sake."

In my mind, I wonder how any one medium could be better than another
specially in fine art. 

As for wedding photographers well I suppose there are a few who truly
care about quality but if wedding photographers are anything like the
other inhabitants of the planet (earth) I think its safe to say that the
majority of them are in it to make a buck and go for the cheapest and
fastest method which would be digital.

As for losing more photos when a card goes bad, you also tend to shoot
more shots and have more to choose from when the card doesn't go bad.
Also, you can keep switching cameras during the shoot to minimize losses
should one card go bad.
