I just don't understand why these edition just HAVE to have artworks/illustrations anyway. Especially in the English versions they're usually only on the level of very mediocre fanart (especially compared to, for example, several of the Asian editions where the illustrations are actually pretty gorgeous). They don't really add anything, only push up the price and in some cases don't even fit the text.

I'm pretty sure it was a marketing decision from the publisher. They could get "cheaper" art from artists not as experienced in publishing, and IIRC their early marketing for the first wave of translations built heavily on the fact they were using fan artists and fan translators.
