While we're talking about needed journal changes, it's worth pointing out that Nature, the journal, now allows articles submitted by authors to be open to anyone, which is great, but only if the authors pay Nature $11,690 per article. Otherwise, only institutions which subscribe to Nature can see the articles.
As far as I know, an author is allowed to share the preprint of their Nature submission, e.g. by posting it on their website or Arxiv, without paying an open access fee [1]. The difference between the submitted and final version of a paper is I think usually pretty minor, so this seems decent enough.
