Because academic code is horrendous.

I once worked in an IT department of a genetics laboratory, which consistently publishes high impact papers in journals like Science and Nature.

While I was there I got to see some of the R/Python/Java code that had been created for all kinds of studies that had taken place there. It was some of the worst code I have ever seen.

But I do agree, the complete methodology including the code should be shared.
