Is the goal to get rid of the journals or ensure open access? Because the US already has open access mandates for federally funded research. Immediate and without embargo. https://www.lib.iastate.edu/news/upcoming-public-access-requ...
it is open access, but often 'golden' or 'diamond' OA, where the researcher has to pay few K$ for this.
This is discussed in the article.
The article's discussion of how the open access mandate works is wrong. Federally funded research, when published (even in a closed-access journal) must be deposited in https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ or a similar repository.
Edit: OA advocates have won pretty much everything we wanted, there's not much left to be outraged over.
