Were publisher really adding zero value ? honest question.

Did they help people finding books, or organized events, helped authors in any albeit indirect way ?



Well, the idea was that they sorted the wheat from the chaff, published only the good stuff, and therefore saved you time. I'm not sure how effective they currently are at providing this service, though.


They are not providing that service. The reviewers are other scientists working for free. All the publisher is doing is coordinating the work.
