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.

I didn't say they shouldn't. The few authors I'm aware of that have had Amazon discount their books seemed to be thrilled when it happened. I asked if somebody could explain the opposing POV to me, since I'm not an author, am not fully aware of the changing commission levels and all the other details.
I was asking for information, not expressing an opinion.
