You buy a cake, throw away half of it, and only pay for the half you have eaten?
Well, if you buy a KU book, then the author will get the full royalties and it doesn't matter if you read the book or not. But if you borrow a KU book, then the author will get their money only by pages read.

That was done because there were numerous frauds. People put a 5-pages-book in KU and got the same amount as the author of a 1000-pages-book. Some put up a book filled with thousands of pages of nonsense text. And so on.
