That's for those that choose exclusivity. But there are plenty of small publishers that do sell across the board. And then there's the big guys. They could sell DRM-free ePubs directly and not have to pay Amazon (or Kobo/B&N/Google) their cut and also list their wares on those other sites. There are a couple of small publishers that do this already (Games Workshop's Black Library and Rebellion's 2000AD).
