I think that Tony maintains a lingering affection for Artie. Remember while talking to Carm about AJ's recent issues, he (Tony) referenced the time when they all (years ago) locked Artie out in the cold (at CYO event), thereby nearly reducing his fingers to clinical frostbite? He recalls this incident with some sort of nostalgic sentimentality... He clearly does not see Artie as the "man" that he is, and will also continue to exploit the exploitable in Artie, but IMO is fond of him.
Also, Artie is an ongoing cohort/chum in T's life, but unlike most of the others, represents absolutely no threat whatsoever.
