It is also valuable for scientists as it is often a 'directors cut' version of the paper. Journal submissions are heavy edited and shortened to fit into the page limits.

I don't know which field you're talking about, but in general, math and cs journals do not have page limits.

By the way, one of my favorite pastimes is to download the latex source for papers on arxiv and read all the commented-out stuff.

% we should make sure this theorem is actually true

cryptography, for example, which is essentially math + cs together

Which journal?

look at essentially any proceedings of any conference (in crypto we dont really do journals). see EUROCRYPT for example https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-91098-2 in there, every paper will be cut down and referring to full version for proofs etc. which are typically on eprint.iacr.org

		Well, yes, conference proceedings are usually page limited, but that's not a journal.

We usually do conferences in cryptography/security, and most of them have page limits: CCS, USENIX, NDSS, S&P, CRYPTO, EUROCRYPT all have page limits (some allow appendices, which reviewers are not obligated to read).
