He loses some cash because I don't buy his next book. Or any other series that he writes because I don't feel that I can trust him to meet a deadline. I lose reading his work.

We both lose a little. There are plenty of other great writers out there I can read and the few dollars he gets from me is not really going to hurt him.

He can call it being artistic, I call it bad business.
