Well glad you beat me to it - one bit of unpaid writing I don’t need to do now!
You also have to recruit a free labor force to do the really important work - your reviewers. Reviewers are more inclined to work for higher impact journals and join their editorial boards.
It is messy and there are alternatives, but it is a culture of altruism that has become abused and engrained.
