Their main purpose is enabling their users to consume content from various sources in one place.

Uh, no? RSS/Atom only contains a summary. It’s to inform you about news, a alternative to E-Mail newsletters. Website scraping is extra functionality some clients do.

I think the use of the word “enabling” is correct.

RSS/Atom can contain a summary, or it can be the full article. It’s the choice of the website what to put in it. They only put a summary to force you to visit their webpage to serve ads.

RSS is a nice idea. Unfortunately too many websites want you to use email “newsletters” instead.

Even Ghost has no mechanism to add an RSS link. You have to inspect the page code or use a dedicated extension.
