Look at da Vinci. He was a great Scientest, Technologist, Engineer, and Mathist, but also a great artist. Art increased his STEM and STEAM beats STEM every time.

The problem is when you only do arts but you're all like "Oooohhh I'm part of the STEAM revolution".
That's why I think the A shouldn't be included. You are either part of STEM through any of the 4 and have art as a bonus, or you're not part of it and you're useless to any of the 4.

Yes I bet da Vinci considered his art as just a bonus

But that's the point of STEAM. When you add artistic people to STEM people you get a great synergy. I mean look at Apple. The iPhone has great engineering, but also great art. Microsoft is a STEM company. Apple is a STEAM company. Who's more successful?

Steve Jobs saw this, too when he explained greatness lies at the crossroads of technology and the liberal arts. If he were alive today he would be a STEAM advocate.
