I think that they want you to buy the magazine William, not read it
electronically. Also, if you read the (slightly) airy-fairy intro on
the home page, you will see that they are not about digital media.
Presumably that precludes scanning any more photographs than
absolutely necessary to sell subscriptions on the Internet.
It's a niche market I should say... too narrow a niche for me.

The development of sharp high-speed films reduced the need for fast lenses,

over the 21mm to 100mm will therefore stand as something of an optical
high-water mark for a long time to come. Young'uns who aren't impressed by
an XA or SX-70 are likely to be awed by your 21/2.
By the way, if you haven't read the editorial on the main page of
www.photovisionmagazine.com, please do so. It is a classic example of
pretentious, vacuous writing.
There's a table of contents for the current issue that lists the "End of OM"
article, but there's no link to it or any other article. This seems to be
"look but don't touch" site.
