We all know that the value added by publishers is peer review....

And it is what justifies the "reasonable" prices of access licenses...

Perhaps the "rogue" category of journals should be considerably enlarged.

The news du jour:  "The publishers Springer and IEEE are removing more
than 120 papers from their subscription services after a French
researcher discovered that the works were computer-generated
nonsense." In today's article by reporter Richard Van Noorden, you can
even find out how to make a start on your own gibberish paper.  These
were published mainly in conference proceedings.
