They're not looking very hard.
Universities have departments full of grad students and postdocs that can code and analyze data: programming and ML are increasingly common tools in neuroscience, biology, psychology and a number of other fields. However, these people are mostly invisible to tech recruiters. I hear from one or two a year and I think that's on the high end for my neuro department (having a CS degree also helps).
It might take some work to find a way to make academic achievements 'legible' to industry, or to sell industry jobs to people, but whoever figures it out (besides Insight) is going to make a mint.
