That's the old fashioned per-copy business model.
IMHO Steve deserves to be paid (not too much) just for the work he put in that novel, even if you don't read it.
And, after that, he deserves to be paid more (not too much, and in any case not infinite) for his next work if the previous one was a success.
Like any other working man in the world, Steve deserves to be paid, and he deserves raises if his work is good enough.
