This has nothing to do with RSS, it is the author's choice. It's like someone who posts links to their articles on Twitter / Facebook / Reddit, same thing. The platform doesn't prevent you from putting the entire content there, and in fact, many do, especially with RSS.
One benefit of RSS though is that because it is an open protocol, the problem you mention already has solutions, which auto fetch the articles for you. That wouldn't be possible without an open protocol like RSS
Moreover, I'd argue even with that, RSS is still a huge plus. To have all your content's headlines in one UI, and potentially you can filter or sort them however you want, that's pretty awesome.
