I dunno. It can just be that the intended audience is expected to know these terms already. It'd be weird to call any Nature paper an explainbrag simply because it uses field-specific terminology.

Personally, when little things like that piss me off, I find it more helpful to introspect "why do I have such a strong emational reaction to this little thing?" than to go about laying moral judgement. I find this approach is especially good at promoting effective communication in places where it's easy to misinterpret intenions, like text.
