They’re not talking about removing any effort to understand a paper, but to lower it for the same level of understanding.

If more effort required to reach the same understanding was a good thing we should be making papers much harder to read than they currently are.

Why are the specific things they are doing a problem? Automatically building pipelines and code described in a paper, checking it matches the reported results then being able to execute it for queries the user has - is that a bad thing for understanding?
