I think it's more how the incentives in the system are set up. Unless the incentives change (publish or perish, gatekeeping journals, etc.), then nothing will change.

Many of the problems in academia are due to publish or perish. Very many of them.

Three or four cases of entire laboratories or departments being shut down for fraud would make a dent.
