over the past 5-10 years my field biology has embraced preprints, with some famous papers remaining as preprints (most famously, I'd say, is the BWA-MEM paper). Most preprints I see are of decent quality, certainly higher than what gets published in MDPI et al. Every article is already getting published and the world hasn't ended yet :)
