Since it's the authors who can set their desired prices, tell me why they shouldn't cheer over it?

You aren't exactly being forced to buy. If the price is higher than you want to pay, you can pass on the work. Authors will find out what price points work for them as sales rise or fall.

But meanwhile, you get what you're willing to pay for, and if you want good work, it tends to carry a higher price.
