Turning (possibly closed source) academic code into (closed source) business code does not make it more reliable, readable, or efficient necessary. The new profession is made possible by the openness of the code, which is not necessarily spaghetti. I would rather think spaghetti academic code is written by people who never wrote code before (I've witnessed a few such examples), and these people are often students not professors.
