For most writers, trade publishing is a losing proposition. They do get books into book stores, but generally the only time it's worth the costs is when your book becomes a best-seller, because no self-published author has reached the Stephen King/JK Rowling level yet. But you're only slightly more likely to get rich from selling hundreds of millions of books than from winning the lottery.
Most prospective authors disagree with you, and generally try to work with a publisher if they can.

Random House has published a promotional video. Is it propoganda? Maybe- but then no more than are the offerings of the Konrathologists.
