The things is that even if a really good book is not right for every publisher so some publisher might turn it down it is the case that the editors will recognize a really good book and not miss it. And if it fits in there plans they will publish it.
The corporations today aren't interested in anything under 200 pages, no matter how good it is. If you think of all the classic books that are taught in schools now that would be rejected under that silly pagecount requirement that should give you an idea of what we are losing out on. Or would have done if writers didn't have more choices. All the corporations care about is money, nothing else matters to them. They don't even employ proofreaders anymore, or if they do they are bargain basement ones, or English isn't their first language.
