Dense papers are a way to hide the ugliness of the ideas presented. Beautiful ideas always have an intuitive and clear explanation. The burden is on the author(s) to explain the idea in a reader-friendly way. If they don't, it's either due to the journal/literature pressure, or because the author(s) stole the idea from someone else without fully understanding it.
