Yeahhhh not really that much of a loss is it.

Well, if you allow the logical sequence presented (whereby small and local authors are disproportionately supported by the bookstores in question), I think it’s enough of a loss to be worth collectively considering how to prevent it. This is kinda like the physical books equivalent of losing indie game devs publishing their stuff on Itch.
