You already mentioned this back in May. This is the follow-up we all expected.

Nature is an expensive journal to run and publish. They charge for access. This is getting less common many are now free access.

The paper you want here isn't on arxiv that I can see but this one is:

Any university or copyright library will subscribe to Nature - you shouldn't have to travel far to find a copy. My UK local library provides digital access to many journals, magazines and newspapers.

It was a side effect of Covid that for health reasons they no longer take paper copies of such transient material.
