Even if every paper is amazing, I still don't have the time to read about all topics. So even if every submitted paper is great and should be published, we still need sorting by topic.
Add to that the fact that "publish or perish" has lead to a decline in at least amount of "actually new information" per paper if not outright in quality of papers. And that is not going away easily.

Text has always been quite the slow way of making progress. And now with VR we have better ways to visualize and learn from others work. How would you like to work, given free time and funding? Would you like to be able to keep track of every related research?
