Author A may have lost sales, but author B didn't
take anything from author A. The reader did. If I make a better mousetrap than someone else, I haven't taken anything away from anyone.

If their interest would have been shoving the other publishers off the shelf they would have lowered the book prices. Coke and Pepsi dominate the shelves especially when they have sales.

That is one way to compete. Another way to dominate the shelves is to have more products. By putting out many titles, you can potentially get as much of the pie as you can.
