Just because bestsellers are, right now, how (some) publishers finance finding (sometimes) good books, it doesn't mean it's the way it always has been and/or the way it always has to be. Things change. Business--maybe not the companies currently at the top of the pile right now, but some companies somewhere--will adapt.
If everyone in the world stopped buying hardcovers tomorrow, the publishing industry would be in a scramble, but once everything shook out, we'd get good books still, if for no other reason than the fact that people exist who care enough about good books to find a way to get them out there.
