Where it is easy to make it easy to replicate, it should be made easy. Releasing source code, even in unsanitized form, allows for much easier inspection and replication.
The research world is also much different today than a century ago. Today the field is crowded with researchers who must publish or perish. The speed of papers, many of which are in fact nonsense, is churning out is unprecedented. As a result, a paper that can be verified but is hard to verified is often never properly verified at all.
