Like free speech, people abused communication channels, personal gain is OK but people quickly learned that this is done on their expense, be it their work's credit being stolen (or not fairly shared) or un-proportional recognition is being given for something.
As an example, I used to take part of many Hackathons, as a coder-hacker I loved the social aspect, the inventive work, the crunch mode, the competitiveness..
But some years ago, these events became a competition for some "big heads" judges wanting a "startup worthy business idea" which turned these hackathons into a competition of "PowerPoint engineers".. People would not write a single line of code (best case use some one-pager SaaS generator) and win events..
Anyway, this is part of a bigger culture issue, as a developer I came to look down on non-coder "suites" and their credit taking, "center stage" egos..
