Even in areas where commercialization isn't super relevant I've known few academics particularly interested in doing all the tedious process crap to make it easy to publish their data and their calculations in a "reproducible pipeline" sort of way. I think in large parts it's a tooling and awareness problem - like, historically awareness and use of source control has been very low in the space, but for data, even industry tools tend to be less sophisticated than the ones for code.
