iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn't help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don't prioritize writing reviews too much.

quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory "yeah this is interesting, publish it" or "not interesting/outside scope".

very very few reviews find and report scientific errors

find and report scientific errors

Hell, the fact that any articles have been published with the openAI "I can't provide up-to-date info" means that shit's not getting read properly, overall.
