They won't because their entire career hinges on publishing in these journals. Blaming them for not publishing is like blaming aspiring programmers for grinding leet code. Yeah it would be great if everyone stopped at once and suddenly it became useless, but that's obviously never going to happen. The blame lies squarely with the Universities and Governments at this point for allowing faculty to publish in paywalled journals.
If Universities stopped recognizing work published in paywalled journals when making hiring considerations, this debate would be over in a year. Parasitic journals like Science and Nature would lose their product and the business model would basically fall apart.
