I understand your point but there is a difference between publishing peer-review and posting a pre-print, and this is critical if your audience comes from the life sciences for example, whom have historically followed peer-reviewed literature. Since thankfully things are moving towards open-access, why don’t you publish your manuscript in arXiv and submit it to a peer-reviewed journal - common practice nowadays? Then everyone will be happy I guess?
