Every self-published Author I've met starts the journey with what they think will be the breakout hit. Many fall be the wayside because they didn't get the reception for their material that they thought they would get... The KB boards is littered with posts about how disappointed they are. Using SW, KDP & Pubit at least tempers this by not adding any upfront expenses.
Bookbaby is of the tradition of a vanity presses that take money from Authors who are starting out and who really don't know any alternatives, or how easy you can actually format your book yourself. Maybe, just maybe they might be viable once you do have a breakout hit if you really want to wait six weeks to get relisted into the sales channels you would have to pull out of.
First rule of self-publishing... Money flows to the Author
