FWIW I think this is exactly the opposite of what the OP was trying to say. I think the OP meant that they often wish authors had used more space to explain their ideas, because that would immediately make them more accessible.
And I must agree. I often feel papers are written with an extra 20% over the page budget, then condensed in the last minute to fit the constraints, which hurts the exposition.
