You can get a huge number of full-text articles via PubMed/NCBI now. Basically everything funded by the US (and several other) governments needs to end up in PubMed Central within ~12 months of publication.
As for the closed-access venues, it's a thorny chicken-and-egg problem. The top journals (Nature/Science/Cell) carry a tremendous cachet; having one on your CV makes you 2-5x more likely to get a tenure-track job/interview. This makes it very hard to opt-out.
