Open Access is commonsense, common sense,  but not common place.

Most of the world's research exists behind a paywall.  Ten's of millions of documents locked behind exorbitant prices ranging from $25 for seven days of access, to $59 dollars for one article.  Paywall technology is even "advancing" to the point that articles you purchase can't be downloaded or printed.
