Thankfully this is starting to change; the UK research councils already require open access to papers as a requirement for funding, and they're currently looking at open access to data (which would include code). It's currently a bit fuzzy what open data requirements would be, so before enforcing the requirement they're trying to pin it down with regard to things like subject/patient/etc. confidentiality, industrial agreements, what to do about massive datasets (e.g. TB+), etc. There is hope!
