There's very little academic kudos survey articles or other educational articles (as another commentator mentioned, PhD theses are often the best place to go for those types of summary). I'm not sure how one changes that. I remember thinking during my PhD how helpful it would be to have more survey type articles - especially for the subfields adjacent to one's own - you want to know if there are useful connections to your work but you don't want to delve through dozens of extremely dense papers.
