If someone doesn't know how to address an audience you can hardly blame the audience for not responding. Academic papers are written to further academic careers. Their audience is not developers, but other people who are also not developers.
Of course there is going to be an impedance mismatch. What makes people important, effective and useful isn't what silly snobbery they use to put other people down, but whether they can effectively communicate their ideas to the audience.
