Except code and science are completely different and in the context of the reasons why you'd want to force publishing, there's almost no link. Coders aren't trying to prove truths about the world (generally), there is no logical relation between you not open sourcing your half finished MySpace clone and people sitting on negative results paid for with public funds. It's such an obvious false equivalency that it's hard to even explain. It's like we're having a conversation about design of space suits for astronauts and you interject that it would be unfair to expect coders to wear space suits.
