It's great to see academics come together to create and promote a free access journal.
It seems like the migration away from closed-access journals may happen on a case-by-case basis. Highly-regard open access publications are already quite common in some fields (e.g., machine learning) but virtually non-existent in others.
It would be nice to have a turn-key solution for an open-access journal, which would let the people in charge focus on the important stuff (organization, recruitment of volunteers, etc.). The platform would handle internal and external communication, the submission process, the review process, publication and archiving, etc. Not sure there's much financial incentive for such a project though.
