Because these publishers don't care for art, they just want to sell.

The same goes for their equivalents in all other arts: film corporations, record companies, tv channels, book publishers, galleries etc… some care to offer art, some only care to sell.


Base your perception of a work of art not on the person that sells it, but rather on its creator's intent, its audience's reaction and, above all of course, on the work itself.
