Professors are "expected" to be published in these journals in large Universities. They basically will never advance their career without be published in a "major journal."

Early career academics are a slave to the system for career advancement; late career (successful) academics are too complacent to want to change. The only way the parent's idea will take root is if established academicians vote with their own writing, and go on a mission to convince others in their sphere of influence.

As you say, to do this as a young researcher is career suicide.
