I'm not sure about the workflow, but Elsevier ask for scientist to peer review the paper no?

Couldn't the scientist refuse to peer review non-openly published papers?

You could, but typically the editor of the journal asking for reviews is a leading academic in the field of the journal.

Refusing to review non-open work sounds like a good way to burn political capital for those early in their careers.
