Yes they should be aware of what the terms of a contract means, but I think Amazon's KDP program is demonstrating how short-term writers think and how quickly they do they things without contacting outside experts or analyzing the terms of an agreement. It is like a chess game; the better players can think several moves ahead and strategize whereas average players think either no or one move ahead.

Karl Marx said "Religion is the opiate of the masses." Today, he would have said "Short-term thinking is the opiate of the writer."
