That text (here and in magazines, newspapers) isn't for you. It's for the casual browser who isn't reading the article yet. It's trying to suck you in and/or give you teensy bite of info even if you don't read the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull_quote

Of course this article format is kinda pushing the limits I agree.

Which is why it doesn't have any place being used on a web page :/.

Why not?

I admit to often reading things that are far outside my wheelhouse, or not always topics I assume I will enjoy. If I start one of these and find myself loosing interest, these quotes and call outs can draw me further in or push me right out.
