Is it really ironic?

If they opted to self-publish they'd be allowed to do whatever the hell they want. And if they had successful books out before, it's not even like it would be particularly risky.

They really do willingly give those rights away... unless they were stupid enough to sign a prior contract with clauses obliging them to offer the publisher their subsequent X books. But even that isn't exactly forced.

Let's give authors their own share of the burden of traditional publishing stupidity. It's not that big a burden, but it does exist.
