As well as the issue that, to a first approximation, nobody cares.
The correct response to the replication crisis was for every affected science to immediately stop all funding and new experiments, if not pausing the ones in progress, review the situation with a series of intense conferences, and figure out how to allocate a lot more resources to replication. If that sounds extreme, well, the response to "vast quantities of the science you're doing is effectively worse than useless and you lack the ability to tell which is which" should be extreme!
But, hey, I can put my realist hat on too. I know that was never on the table. A lesser response was all we could ever hope for.
But what we got is effectively no response. Or if you prefer, the bare minimum that can be just barely called more than nothing. Nobody cares. The science goes on being cited, both in the field and in popular magazines, because that's just so much more fun. And an indeterminate, but assuredly large percentage, of science money is worse than wasted, but used to generate false science instead. And the prestige of "science" will continue wearing away until it is all spent.
