The reviewers are not compensated, but the editorial staff that maintain the journal are (part of which is recruiting and maintaining a reviewing board, soliciting comments, sending articles for review/rewrite, etc), as well as the staff that organize and put together the conferences that each journal hosts, and all other aspects of maintaining a journal such as partnerships with libraries and schools, memberships lists, etc. Did you think the fee only covered the Internet hosting?

Arxive or techarxive is doing it for free

Except those are for pre-print and post-print and don't offer peer review

for the hosting and all
They charge enough to pay for their staff why can’t just make it open access
