My primary criticism is that it took me several minutes to see a chart. The exposition is very interesting. I don't judge a paper by its cover, but it kinda took a lot of work to read something that was described as visual!

Is there a nuance to this publishing process that makes this make sense?

This can sometimes be an artifact of submitting for peer review where tables and figures are uploaded as separate documents than the manuscript and then combined into a single document. I think this makes it easier to format the tables and figures for a journal.

He really needs to read Edward Tufte! (Even plain Latex tries to put the figures near to the text.)
