And it's not true anyway. There's a huge amount of non-fiction, particularly local history, published by niche publishers or self-published, often by historical societies or local historians and journalists, which is often of excellent quality. The difference over the last few years is that it's getting far easier to reach a wide audience for what would once have been a small local print run, and I expect this trend to continue, broadening into ebooks.
