The point (and a partially understandable one) is that publishers don't
want to get prepress files but files they can edit in the future, even
if the original person is not available anymore. So a company has its
staff or its number of contractors they know, and they will need to work
with them. Even some open-mindedness given (which is not that
impossible) it's fair to assume that they can't be sure to have
sufficient manpower and support available when "you" aren't available
anymore.
