We can either accept that there are incentives, but ultimately people are responsible for their [in]actions and should be lauded or punished accordingly, or what? We are but powerless automatons thrust into this System that requires us to... falsify scientific data in order to get tenure?

No, sorry. We have free will. We have agency. Using an example from the article, there are approximately 0 examples of professors who eschew open source journals because of the low impact factor until they get tenure then exclusively publish in open source journals once they get it. There's always some other faculty position, some other grant, some citation, some conference. They just don't want to publish in open source journals because closed source journals are "better." That's fine, but don't be so dishonest as to pretend it's the incentives that pushed you there. It's you.
