In theory it could be done that way, I suppose, but that’s just not how scholarly editions of texts are published, and it’s a publishing tradition that goes back not merely years, but centuries. These are editions that are published primarily for people who are already familiar with the book, and want to read an analysis of it from someone knowledgeable in that particular field of literature.
If you just want the book without the analysis, Penguin have another imprint called “Penguin English Library” (also available as an ebook) which will get you exactly that.
