If editing is a creative enough endeavour, why does an editor of a book not get copyright on that book?

Well assuming that's true, I withdraw my acceptance of the idea that re-editing a book creates addition copyright of any kind. (Assuming "re-editing" means redoing what an "editor" does).

Because editing is usually a work-for-hire, so the copyright on the edited work belongs to whomever payed an editor. However, if an author collaborates with an editor without making any work-for-hire contracts then editor indeed would share the copyright with the author.
