It's not a matter of outrage or not. It's a matter of there needing to be a point where the consumer's willingness to pay lines up with a publishers willingness to produce.
You have to consider that a new release MMPB is expected to sell into the tens of thousands. How many copies of a backlist book will sell in any year?
If I were the chairman of board of a publisher, I sure would be directing them to spend their time energy and money in activities that bring the highest return.
