There are a number of authors who don't get any editing help, but that is usually because they can't afford it--not because they expected it would be free and it turned out it wasn't. They know it costs something. They just don't always have the money. It's a choice like anything else.

See the post I was initially commenting on (#41). I interpreted that as a writer feeling rather entitled to free/cut-rate help from editors.
