Uh-huh.
There's quite a few Indie authors around, "refugees" from Harlequin and other traditional publishers, for whom the payouts from $0.99 sales or KU checkouts are quite reasonable, compared to their past experiences.

There's a lot more tradpub veterans gone Indie who appreciate the math of 70% of $2.99 > 12% of $15.99. Especially with reverted backlist that wasn't earning them nothing.

Not everybody in publishing runs in Patterson/Preston territory.
Some folks are happy to be making a few thou per book each year and racking up new readers instead of being out of print and forgotten.
