Because a very high percentage of programmer types (of whatever sort of title) genuinely believe that they are well above average, and thus that performance-based pay would advantage them over others.

Unless you're overwhelming overpaid irrespective of your actual ability, no employee would suffer any downsides from pay transparency.
