How many hosts do you manage? Will your hosts file handle 1542 TLDs? Does your device have a configurable hosts file?
Is there any device people use for reading scientific papers that doesn't have a configurable hosts file?
Almost certainly a similarly configured iOS device.
(I use the former heavily. It is among the devices autoconfigured by the system described in the OP.)

Is there any reason for having 1542 TLDs that point to the same address instead of just one, other than wasting time trying to conform to invented but pointless requirements?
I use the Telegram bot. Very quick, always on, keeps a history, available on all devices.

Sorry, can you explain what this does specifically?
Sometimes it says (in Russian) there is an error fetching the paper: I understand that in such a case it does not have the paper, but the paper is available on GenLib, so you can go there. But it is not frequent.

Yes: Demonstrating that the "we're gonna take your domains away" approach fails, and will result in backlash.

Yes. An Android tablet with FBReader or Pocketbook. Almost certainly a similarly configured iOS device. (I use the former heavily. It is among the devices autoconfigured by the system described in the OP.)

You install Telegram, you contact the bot https://t.me/scihubbot , you send him a DOI and it will answer with the PDF (if it has it).

You can modify the hosts file on an Android device relatively easily.

That's not been my experience.
