Okay, but this is a) a case where someone is writing obscurely because they believe they have good reasons to do so (not so as to make it seem hard and advanced), and b) has nothing to do with physics or mathematics.
If anyone here thinks, like, leftist critical theory is worth a damn, I’ll be surprised. But that’s not part of academia at issue.
I think your a) is wrong—making it seem hard and advanced is part of the “good reason.” But like I said originally: “This effect is pretty much confined to the humanities and the social sciences.” In other words, two thirds of academia.
