This process has begun in several fields:
- https://quantum-journal.org https://quantum-journal.org
- http://discreteanalysisjournal.com http://discreteanalysisjournal.com
- https://lmcs.episciences.org https://lmcs.episciences.org
The reason that these types of journals have not completely disrupted those fields is not that their business model is flawed (I don't think they are even for-profit), but that academics know that their future job prospects rely on the reputation of journals they have published in.
