Nobel prize winning scientists can go rogue. Until these same rogues hire incoming professors based on their own biorxiv papers this is a small advance.
This whole thing needs to start at the level of the funding agency, namely NIH. Publishing in a good journal is a prerequisite to getting a grant. Try getting an R01 on a Biorxiv paper. Not gonna happen.
