I agree the price is surprisingly high. But you are very wrong in stating "trying to cash in on something that they did no work for": Making a book out of diverse material is _much_ work (I've done it). Actually so much and difficult work that it's often worth rewriting from scratch! Just like trying to put together a bunch of lib modules and make an app run fine out of that ;-)
I agree that being the editor is a lot of work.
