Playing devil's advocate, I think that for many authors, "indie" is just another word for "not good enough to get commercially published". One of the most valuable roles that publishers play is to filter out the garbage, which, quite frankly, accounts for the overwhelming majority of stuff that they receive. Even the good stuff is very often in need of extensive work from a good copy-editor before it's in any fit state to be published. Who's going to do that for an "indie" author?
