Really? I don't know who
most people are, but most people in my world* think of traditional publishing as publishing that follows a traditional process when it comes to agents, submissions, contracts, royalties, advances and publishing workflow and produce books that are available through traditional distribution channels, which publishers like Baen (for the most part) & Harlequin (a division of HarperCollins) do.
* That is to say most people I personally am acquainted with who care about where a book comes from at all. I reality most people don't care who published the book they stop in to buy at B&N or another bookstore, big box store, etc.
