I agree.

See the thing is writing good description is hard. I'd rather have none at all then have it done really badly all over the place. I think this is a matter of being trained out of it. You have a lot about the setting and you have no readers, but you have a great story and you get a lot of them.

Even in original fiction it has me skimming pages more than it has me stopping to read it. It has to be good...and I can't even think of an author off the top of my head as an example.

You are misunderstanding entirely. "A lot" about the setting doesn't mean longwinded descriptions with high wordcount, it means well-chosen, vivid details that create verisimilitude.

What you're describing is an entirely different type of setting-description that actually lessens the impact and vividness of the setting, because that kind of description isn't integrated into the actions and movements of the characters.
