Anyone saying "Scientists don't want you to know this fact" has never met a scientist.
Scientists are famous oversharers.

Perhaps a truer line might be
"Scientific journals don't want you to know this fact... without paying for it."
I recall seeing a scientist here saying how they're willing to provide free copies of their paper upon request, avoiding this cost to the reader.
This, of course, supports your hypothesis about scientists sharing. :)
In my experience when someone says "scientists don't want you to know" what they are really saying is "science doesn't support my crackpot theory"
