A big ego does not require psychopathy. It isn't hard to lose perspective.
"I'm the mega-super-hot-selling author. I'm the golden goose. Are people lining up by the millions to buy your books, Editorio? How dare you mess with my vision! How dare you cut up my baby!"
"I've written 37 books. I know what I'm doing. Leave me alone."
I doubt that they delight in selling crap. They probably assume that they are incapable of producing crap.
