We're not complaining about making papers more accessible, but about the clickbait and the resulting misrepresentation.

I don't think this would generally be useful.

Can you provide an example of a Quanta article you found particularly misrepresentative? I haven't read many of their articles, but the ones I have read seemed pretty decent. They also once asked me to fact-check one of their articles and I was quite impressed with how keen they were to get the science right. Not only did they ask me to read the article and provide any feedback (which is what I expected), but they came with a list of the parts where they were concerned they might have misunderstood something.
