That is your opinion, and I disagree. There is enough authors that put if not their whole catalogue, but at least complete series in KU. I avoid any series that is not complete. I personally don't use KU for sampling, but for flat fee entertainment. There is others like me, I am sure I am not that special.
That can also explain why for some authors KU is working as intended by what you say is the only "correct" way. A fairly large percentage of their KU readers of the included beginning of a series results in followup sales, because only those using KU to sample will read it. How big a percentage will depend on the quality of the writing and the price of the non KU books.
