They literally don't care that their take is lower as long as we pay more.

I have bought some nonfiction from the old guard. But by and large I buy fiction from indie authors and small presses.
It is not driven entirely by price point. I not only do not want to support the big publishing houses, I want them to fail if their business model includes perpetual control of the Intellectual property of their respective authors.
I took this same course with my music purchases in the nineties.
