No, you misunderstand. The emphasis is "author". The author is the one and only entity that should be allowed to make changes. After death, there cannot be anymore changes. A publisher's editor may suggest changes to make a book acceptable for publishing, but ultimately the author needs to do it. The right that the author gives up temporarily, or permanently, should only be the right to publish, not the right to edit for other than typos.
