this kind of writing feels like makework and obfuscation.

from a paper titled Style in Scientific Writing
>The defenders of scientific jargon claim that it allows greater brevity and exactitude than ordinary language. It is true that most of those familiar with jargon find it agreeable. The cognoscenti are pleased by what they perceive as jargon's precision and aura of scientific objectivity. They are also delighted by the fact that their jargon renders their field incomprehensible to outsiders, enabling them to cultivate the impression that only they - the experts - can understand the deep mysteries involved.

So on one hand, you have academics speaking to other academics about a "vast array of definitions, frameworks, and theories" and how else could you engage with that kind of material without adopting that jargon.
But on the other hand, if you had anything to say that that resonates with a wider audience, maybe you could communicate these findings more succinctly.
Its like dressing up an ugly pig instead of boiling it down to its essence.
Its why we (or rather i, like to) engage with this stuff through literature, poetry, and religion. Because there are better ways to communicate the things that are important to us. (i.e. the jargon is not the engaging part to anyone but the jargon users)
