I do a lot of freelance editing, proofing, and light rewriting. Almost everything I've seen people complain about (and I've complained about the same things myself) is stuff that's my job, not the author's.
As has been said before, a lot of this is things the author literally cannot see; their brain fills in what's supposed to be there. So when someone tells the author to correct an ebook they're often asking them to do something that's not their job, that they're uniquely ill-suited for, and that they may not even know about because they often have very little if anything to do with ebook releases.
Yes, many authors will do what they can, but by this point it's out of their hands.
