Becuase they're the one of only major pagan/new age publishers, they have almost a monopoly on the market. If you want something published by a real press, you'd likely have to go through them. They're turning into the gatekeepers of knowledge for the neopagan/magic/new age community. Which IMO is bad enough-I'm disturbed by monopolies.
But they have a tendency to jump on any trend that comes along, and produce watered down versions of it, usually mixing it in with their own favorite brand of watered down Wicca. Eventually every book on every tradition begins to sound alike.
