Actually, that isn't quite true. Layout is simplified since you don't have to worry about pagination, "warehousing" is dramatically reduced (servers, which don't have to be owned by the publishers, vs. physical buildings and the infrastructure to run them), shipping is essentially nil, no printing and paper is required, etc.
Writing, editing, and marketing (including promotion) would remain the same or equivalent.
