This is an important point. What have the journals done? Raised their prices and business as usual.

Scientific editors do nothing for data validation. There is no accountability, even after retractions.

Scientific journal editors are glorified gatekeepers for "high impact" work (read: flashy), and then use free reviewer labor to cover themselves so they can call it 'peer reviewed'. In the rare cases when journals do require supporting data, they explicitly ask for excel spreadsheets :(
