Good point. Maybe it's actually not that great of a move from the publisher's part. But not all authors want to be the one-person writing/publishing/marketing machine. There's a lot of aspects to self-publishing, and some people excel at all, and some people are better off focusing on writing. Just depends on what options the author has and what trade offs they're willing to make.
