Legitimate question here. What’s stopping researchers from creating their own federated publishing system for academic journals?

It's not federated, but arXiv is free and volunteer supported:

Not peer reviewed though. Those are called preprints and not papers. Both would be research articles but the difference matters (to scientists at least).

There's JOSS which is reviewed. I love it!

Thank you for the clarification!
