Many top researchers have a grudge against the shortcomings of Nature, especially given its reputation.

They published papers with fairly weak research for overhype many times already.

One example is the infamous Barabasi-Albert paper on the preferential attachment. It contains many false claims, bad math and extraordinary assertions that would be excusable in some vulgarization for TV, much less for a research paper. They could at least have upped the paper before publication.

There are many much worse examples, that you can find on retractionwatch.com among other places.
