There are lots of reasons to "do science", but how does a particular person associated to a particular lab decide to do a particular study?
Anyway, it's hard to take any study involving humans (health, diet, economics, psychology) seriously if it's not pre-registered. I think there should be funding specifically for pre-registered studies, but I'm not king of the world. Any journal in those fields should require preregistration, but it should also be funded.
