I've wondered for at least 15 years, why publishing houses and their horrendous pricing model are still a thing in scientific contexts. Since I delved into the fediverse, I wondered why centralized publication is still a thing. But I never had to gather third-party funds, so I may not be looking at the whole picture here.
