I can't speak for others, but I find scientific literature is not written general audience to understand, for a variety of reasons such as (a) publisher limitation on number of pages (b) to communicate core message right without distraction (c) to not bore a certain people etc.
Not to mention, depending on the sub-fields, at least in AI, there is quite a bit of noise in papers as they are explaining _their_ viewpoint which might differ from broad consensus or disproven in future.
I find papers are typically written keeping in mind a specific set of people, who are typically in that particular sub-field for some time. In sub-fields like quantum computation, that specific set of people authors have in mind while writing paper are <100, and those are not newbies.
Newbies can quickly get discouraged reading a paper out of the blue. Picking the right papers at the beginning requires exposure to the field.
It's not simple.
I really hope what you said is practical. I tried. Hope it's my fault because the alternative option doesn't exist for me.
