However, considering we understand why this happens and we know that being egoistic about the usage of stuff you worked on is pretty much a normal human behaviour, then "I want the best for myself" applies to both sides (readers and translators). And translators know there are service and availability problems. Exactly that's why they take this kind of approach, otherwise they don't get any benefit. This benefit can be revenue from ads, connection with people that enjoy their style of translation and comments full of gratefulness directly to them.
So that's basically a chicken and an egg problem (and btw, the egg was first imo, 'cause not only chickens lay eggs).
Heh, at this tempo I would need to go for philosophy instead of physics+cs degree, will go make some mint tea as a reward for progress in my English. Thank you for inspiration, have a great day/sweet dreams ^_^
