Whether people want to admit it or not, things like sci-hub are the future.

Is there any sort of system to peer review papers or just making current papers more accessible? I love the idea of that, but we still need to make sure research is being double checked before making claims and being able to promote it as research.
I would think we would just copy Linus Torvald's "Bazaar" style that he uses for the Linux Kernel Mailing List for peer-review.
The current model is closer to the Cathedral model.
Isn’t it the publisher’s job to promote their work, if it’s being published by them in the first place, or am I missing something here? What’s the point of any of it? What are the publishers even doing at this point?

You are correct
What are the publishers even doing at this point?
I... honestly don't know. But with how the academic bureaucracy works, a lot of people will be stuck in the system for the time being as it's extremely difficult to have a grass-roots movement to move away from Springer Nature; academia is hard enough and there's no way junior academics would willingly sabotage their careers that way... So I have no clue.
So they’re basically asking scientists to pay for the destruction of science journalism?
My Uni has been paying to run web only research articles, capitalizing even more of the education system.
