I didn't see any "harsh language" or "railing" in the article. It had a definite point of view, but it was mostly pretty descriptive about an interesting historical sub-culture. "Hard science" journal articles often have a clear point of view too. I would be not surprised if an article about industrial environmental damage in Nature had a "certain political viewpoint" that such damage was bad, and we should avoid or mitigate it.

Let's not get confused about what "a viewpoint" means - sure, the viewpoint of An innovative anodic approach for efficient immobilization of an acetylenic triple bond via silicon‑carbon bond scission is that their approach for immobilization is innovative. That's different from what you see in the journals I'm talking about, which sometimes contain pieces of text written like a political organization's internal memoranda. The culture of doing that probably lead to the mention of capitalism vs. "leftism" at the end of the article. Why else would the author have brought it up, if it wasn't commonly seen as a relevant topic?
