As I understand the function of a publisher, it is predominantly about marketing and distribution, and putting a book in front of people who otherwise wouldn't have heard of it or bought it.

Yes, but publishers just give people the opportunity to buy something.

Advertisers put the speech in front of people whether they want to buy it or not.
