You and I read that post very differently. You ignored everything about the cost.
If the imaginary library spends $100 on three academic nonfiction books that will between them have a total of two checkouts in the two year licensing term and the library also sends $100 on ten romance novels, all of whose checkouts will expire before the two year term is up, how is that catering only to a small subset of readers? It is certainly not saying 'so long as a library served its romance patrons it was doing its job'
