Why don't scientists publish a "layman's version" of their findings publicly along with their journal publications?

Imagine you're playing Starcraft II, almost done the single player campaign. You want to discuss strategies with your friends on the last mission - how to approach it, what to focus on, etc.

Now imagine you're trying to explain to someone completely new to the game (e.g., your mother) why facing Nydus worms is preferable over Brood Lords. You'll be spending most of your time explaining the basics, or even the story, before you get to the good part.

Most scientists simply _cannot_ write a thorough explanation of the basics before introducing their findings, while keeping the article a reasonable length.
