While I know that to be true for new authors, it is not always the case for more established ones, especially those with a large fan base.
Sure the author may not commission the cover in most instances themself, but they often get to choose from a range provided by the publisher or just a chance to nay say. They can also often state what they don't want and what they would like, and the publisher will often take that into account.
Talking about decent publishers here, not the dictator ones.
