To do that we would have to radically restructure both academia and the academic publishing scam... I mean industry. Getting access to articles costs far too much for most people. A single article from Antiquity is ?15 ffs! Which means that those doing research outside of academia could easily shell out ?100+ just doing enough reading for a blog post. Ironic given that most research is funded by the state.
