A publisher has made a promotional video explaining what it is they do. Given that many people here (and elsewhere, too) ask "what is it that publishers do", I see that as a useful and beneficial thing. Sorry, but I'm just not seeing sinister conspiracies here. Perhaps that's my loss, but there you have it.
I agree with you that some self-published books are produced to a professional standard, but most, alas, are not.
