This is true, but (a subset of) academics are hardly the only ones to look at a new tool with glee and assume that it is a technical solution to a social or structural problem 😬

Many academics tend to be what is referred to as 'laggards' when it comes to adoption of technology, instead looking for 'holes'. Several years ago, a senior academic attacked me in a public forum about open access, arguing why he would have to pay to get published, and ranted about predatory journals.

Well, add to that the complexity of publishers who have figured out a way to make money out of the whole thing.
