A scientific article should provide an accurate account of what you did & what you found. It should be unglamorous & slightly dull for detail. If you separately want to 'tell a story', write a blog or press release. The conflation of science with storytelling is problematic.
I don't know about other scientific fields, but in applied data science EVERYTHING hinges on the methods. If the methods are poor, the results may be dangerously misleading. We therefore need a lot more attention on methods, not relegation to the end or supplement!
