In my experience, academia is set up to be an obstacle in every way to someone trying to legitimately improve collective human knowledge and understanding. The desires/thoughts of individual researchers are simply irrelevant. People are ejected from the system if they don't/won't waste almost all their time and resources on dealing with bureaucracy and explaining basic stuff about logic and science to their superiors (who have been trained in NHST, or other bad practices that are obviously bad to everyone without a stake in ignoring it). Not many people who really want to do science are going to waste their time dealing with that...
