“Einstein’s paper doesn’t fit the mold for modern, professional scientific communication. It starts with a leisurely philosophical discussion... there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features would doom a paper today.“ https://twitter.com/nalanpog/status/1309241127120392195 …

Careful. There is a distinction you're losing here between the question that motivates Darwin (I don't think you've got that right) and the form of the book. The book is "philosophical" in the same way Principia is, wh. is to say it does recognize contemporary sci-comm norms.
