Because their industry and by extension the power they once had is waning considerably. Macmillan and the other big publishers are owned by even bigger corporations. Macmillan and the others have to justify their own existence at this point; which is getting harder by the day. Lots of jobs are about to be lost across the whole industry as New York, London and Paris cease to be relevant. It's like watching a drowning rat clamber up for air as the ship sinks.
