Are you talking only about conference papers? What about those submitted to Nature, Science, etc.?
And who will curate the best research, especially for people outside your field? I can't follow the discussion in every field.
Researchers are curating for the editors, and are often not even paid for it. So the value that the editors bring is often low at best.
