I take a wordy article introduction as a sign of a lack of enough preparation on the writer’s side. You’re not so sure about what you want to write about and as a result, you’re hemming and hawing before getting to the point.
Writers love to dramatically set up scenes but when it comes to non-fiction writing – get to the hook ASAP. The clock is ticking as it is.
Did I spend so much time on that intro? Lol
The goal is to communicate more clearly and focus on the message you’re passing rather than the several needless words.
