Right. Peer review is also essential to the production of research articles. And is done largely by the same people who are writing articles; but they are incentivized non-monetarily to write articles, but not as much to review. To restate my point perhaps more clearly: If reviewing were rewarded/expected as part of one's role at a university, department, or grant agency similarly to authorship, that would do far more to incentivize it than paying a relatively modest amount for a review.
