Some of this is also availability. My library has the highest circulation of any library in my entire state, outside of university-affiliated libraries. I just did a publisher search and my library only has about 100 BAEN titles in its entire catalog - both paper and electronic books. It is most of the authors you would expect - David Weber, Anne McCaffrey, John Ringo and Eric Flint.
But for me, if my library doesn't have something, I am not going to go out of my way to find it. They have thousands of books that I do want to read. If a publisher is not popular enough for them to support in a big way, this may be more than just popularity contests at this point.
