I think you may have missed the point.
paywalled science is bad for everyone.

it slows the dissemination of knowledge and as such the progress of science.
It's a good thing that harvard is taking a stand against it.
of course they could afford to pay but why should they?
Smaller poorer institutions probably couldn't do this as it would be assumed they're doing it for povertys sake but harvard can.

Journals have become little more than parasites, putting little money back into science, getting reviewers for free, not doing any real editing themselves and then taking the cash and running.
they're the prada handbags of research.
