There's always a danger that heavy editing will make a book worse. But the idea that this commonly happens is an extraordinary claim for which there needs to be evidence. The most convincing form of evidence might be actual examples of authors whose books became better when they stopped being structurally edited.
So you assume it could be Amazon because Amazon is a publisher that has a history of turning books into movies? Remember...this was a publisher that has a history of publishing books and turning them into movies. Which books have Amazon turned into movies?
