How about... Rowling puts out a book that everyone loves. It takes her a year or two or three to put out another book. In the meantime folks look around the genre to find something else that looks good. Other books are bought. New authors are discovered. Books are sold. Seems to me, as my second link in OP says, everybody wins. Rowling sells books and because she sells books, other people in the same genre sell books. Looks like win-win to me.
