What makes sense for the major labels doesn't necessarily make sense for the artist. Major labels have billions in net worth and have invested heavily in the stock/equity of companies such as Apple, Spotify etc etc. They could care less about the royalty pennies that drip out the bottom to feed the artists. They're getting rich on equity. The independents on the other hand don't have this luxury.
