Both, but mainly the former.

If you use the same artists again, the music is no longer new to those people. Thus, I consider it a bit indulgent.

I think that's only one reason people listen to the playlists, and it's certainly not the main reason I do. For example, I go into playlists by people such as Screwtape with the intention of having a musical experience. I don't care if I know all of the stuff there; I want to experience atmospheres and emotions and hear stuff I know in new contexts, from a different perspective. That's how I hope people approach my tracklists if they already know some of the bands.
And considering the variety of some bands, a person may not at all be interested by one song, but another might grab their attention. For example, Person A may not care at all for the direct rock-without-any-nuance of Vertigo, but might be captivated by the intense emotion of One Tree Hill.
As for your tracklist, the first disc isn't bad, it has some good songs and sequences. I didn't think much of the second one though.
