In our humble opinion, this is not a defensible practice. If the paper is reviewable, then it is the journal's job to find reviewers, full stop.

Strongly recommend! Study plants and have a topic you love? An opportunity to dig and think deeply on a topic, with no restraints on length, and provide your perspective on its past, present, and future. And get paid! Writing this review on traits & herbaria in 2022 was super rewarding.
