This essentially boils down to big business wanting all the reward without any of the risk - they've turned artists into their own self-promoters so even when artists are new, they already have a stable audience to sell to, at the expense of the artist of course

Edit: ... at some point you might as well self-publish too, but that brings its own damn problems
