Punctuation is actually VERY commonly changed by editors. If you look at different 19th century editions of Dickens at "archive.org", for example, you'll see that they often have totally different punctuation. In the days of hand-written manuscripts, authors didn't tend to bother putting in much in the way of punctuation.
