Because journals in your field are a tool just as are labs and their respective instruments. It's absurd to hire a scientist, and expect them to bring their own NMR, or beakers, or scales. Taxpayer funded subscriptions to scientific journals are a drop in the bucket. Trump taking yet another vacation at Mar-a-lago costs more than those subscriptions.
