Here is the pre-print version of the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.05363 It is a kind of funny situation that springer has this published. Pre-prints are extremely useful in fields where they are widely used. Physics, my original field, uses arxiv as well as self hosted locations. I know biology is trying to do more of this as well. I really don't understand why other fields just start pushing towards this more open model.

Not all disciplines use arXiv -- far from it. Especially in the humanities and social sciences, there isn't really anything comparable to arXiv. But you are right, preprints are not all that different from published papers, as this recent analysis confirmed: http://arxiv.org/abs/1604.05363 [edited to add:] I suppose you could look at the data (https://blog.datadryad.org/2016/04/28/sci-hub-stories/) and see what proportion of requested DOIs have a preprint version in the arXiv. I suspect it's rather small.
