I'm not sure what you mean by "artificially" restricting their offers.

You seem to be arguing that once a book has been put up on Amazon, the book has some "right" to stay on Amazon. I think that this is incorrect, and that it is better for authors to have some time on Amazon than no time.

I also think that requiring Amazon to read all of the self-published stuff on their site would simply result in them not offering self-published stuff because it's not cost effective.

In any event, I fail to see why rejecting a book before it goes on Amazon is any better for the author than removing it afterwards.
