He was writing Action Comics, saw the initial preorder figures (or it was mentioned at the retreat) and went waa-waa-waa to the Powers that Be asking for more compenstation. He wasn’t granted it, so he packed up his old kit bag and decided to take his toys away, hoping someone would stop him on the way out." NO. People have an agreed upon page rate before going into a book. Even if somebody suddenly saw a book's big numbers after taking on a gig, that is what royalties are for, not page rates. (The idea that Diggle would not know what Action sells before taking the gig is pretty freakin' ludicrous, for that matter.) Royalty rates are the same across the board for DCU work-for-hire, so it's not like somebody would threaten to leave to negotiate a higher royalty rate. What you are speculating about does not happen. Whatever precipitated these creators leaving, the one reason it is not is money. Unless there is a dispute about ownership or rights, these things are NEVER about money.

@JonS: If we were going money grabs there are better way to do it. For instance, don't include a fold-out cover at no extra price in issue 15 and eat the printing difference as a way to thank the fans. 

@wally: yes, it will probably appear later in one of the pricey hardcovers, but a lot of people have expressed interest in seeing how different writers approach scripts, so we thought there would be a market for it, in a smaller floppy form.
