 Paper1: "we've release such and such dataset"

hmmm. Yes, dataset is interesting. Who else has cited it to see what has been done. Oh! 30 citations. Interesting. What kind of scientific advancement has been made?

the 29 citations:
"there have been many ongoing efforts to organize {field}, such are {paper1}. Like them, we too have released a new fantastic dataset!"

Much science. Much progress. Such insight 🙃

in one sense - Cuz pROgrEs and ImPaKt.
in another sense, the science version of working with old code and the related thread.

Those are just two possible reasons that come out of a very entangled situation of bad incentives.
