The publishing system is a bit broken.
Even the world English language market is artificially broken into regions where some publishers have secretly agreed not to compete. Common between some big USA and UK publishers.
See also region coding on DVDs, BD and games, where even when a publisher has world wide rights they want to chop up the markets to better exploit them. That is evil.

Tought: if a place (just as an example, like this:
https://www.isfdb.org/) keeps a count, nobody has to go searching the publisher, is the opposite. An agent/publisher knows its job already, that's it - imho. Namely if it can afford it or not, etc.. no one would be called.
