I don't know about other fields, but we did do this for AI. It's all community-run, papers are freely available for everyone to read, and the cost of submission in a peer-reviewed venue is to review other papers. The publishers don't actually provide anything of value except name recognition and being "reputable", which they maintain through momentum.

If you're still interested in this, CVPR recently made the rule explicit for the upcoming conference.

If they do not serve in another capacity for the organization of CVPR 2025, all authors are obliged to act as reviewers
