No one's really arguing the legality of "curating" a bestseller list. Just pointing out that they don't really represent (nor have they likely ever) what they pretend (or what many people believe them) to be: namely ... a list of books that readers are currently buying the most of. They represent a list of books that publishers/booksellers have decided that readers should be buying the most of. They're not reporting on what's selling best, they're controlling what's selling best.
