I'm not the one who is asserting that it's the publisher's responsibility to keep electronic copies of every book they have ever printed on the off chance that someone might want to use it to generate an ebook at some point in the unknown future regardless of whither the publisher in question has the ebook rights to the work.

I never said every book printed. What I said was the publisher should keep a copy until they lose the rights to the book. And only the books they published.
That way if the book takes off, they don't have to track down a copy.
Would you really approach a widow or children to get a copy before he is even cold so you can profit off a hot name?
Since the publisher probably still has the rights to publish.
