I think it's just an intractable problem at this point. There's probably millions of physicists on Earth. Everyone working in a company knows just how hard it is to get even hundreds of people to agree and read and understand the same things.

The fact is, there are just too many people doing too many things. When any technical paper sounds like gobblygook to even people in the same field but in a different specialty, it's no surprise this happens, especially when coupled with the modern pressure to scientifically publish and modern "journalism" trends.
