The editor is what the journal offers,

In my (perhaps more limited) experience, the editor isn’t an expert in the field, they’re just the person who finds the volunteer reviewers who are the experts. Sometimes they find expert “guest editors” who are volunteers. Also, the final formatting / line-editing was outsourced to India.

Academic publishing is a scam. Don’t volunteer for scams – only review for open access journals / conferences.
