This hints at a problem of academia being in favour of 'lots of expensive words good'. They start training us for this at school - more often than not churning out a longer and more complex text is rewarded over writing succinctly and in language that is easily understandable to all.
Yes, I understand using accurate terminology is a thing, and that this terminology can get extensive and complex. But it doesn't account for all of the word salad produced because we expect academic texts to sound a certain way. And that's how we get desperate people using robots to keep up with the silly demand for overcomplicated word salad and then other desperate people using robots to work their way through the aforementioned word salad.
