Well, I'm certainly not in that game, since I've never written anything I wanted to sell. But I *do* hang around a lot of author's sites, and many of them come from writing fanfic to scrubbing it and then selling it as Original. So I've seen the discussions.
The fact is that some authors seem very happy with KU, and some aren't and then leave it. They're all trying to sell their works, and Amazon KU is just another way to do so that may or may not fit individual authors.
The program just doesn't seem to be the Boogey-Man you're trying to portray it as. Like everything else an author does, they need to evaluate it for themselves. In some cases, it may be their best bet.
