If people would actually _measure_ the outcomes of peer review instead of talking about it, I think it would meet a swift end.

Empirically, I find no improvement in reproducibility between arxiv and journals. The costs are incredibly high too.

Like many things in our world peer review is a short lived extrapolation which doesn't resemble it's origins but is regarded as immutable gospel. It matters most if what you need is the respect of academics.
