> I think it applies to most STEM fields

Much of the medical and life sciences space does not publish on Arxiv or OA platforms.

It's slowly changing with Green OA initiatives being pushed by government donors, but not there yet.

> Social sciences may be behind though as you say

Econ, a lot of PoliSci, Finance/Business, and Computational Linguistics was very early on the OA/Working Paper movement.

For Bioengineering it definetly is, but a lot of Medicine is still locked behind high impact Wiley and Sage publications, and for a lot of that research it's fairly easy to pay the $3-4k to make the article open access.
