And the grim answer is that we'll keep doing it for the same reason we do so much other unpaid labor: we're competing for the scarce respect of other colleagues in the field. We could all negotiate a much better deal if we toned down our own dog-eat-dog status competition.
But in the meantime, people don't want to go independent scholar because they know that others in the field won't take them seriously, won't read their work, won't publish it, etc. We're all recognition hoarders and its killing us.

I do think this is changing, though. You see it at conferences. Younger scholars in the academy all know many more brilliant folks who have been pushed out of the academy or into alt-ac pathways. Not every subfield is this way but I think market collapse is shifting the culture

Yeah, I've noticed this too.
