It would also greatly increase the diffusion into industry of techniques. I often read papers that describe an interesting approach to something I am interested in doing. But often the paper requires me to read many references and spend dozens of hours or more to reach an implementation myself. I simply can't invest that time on something that might work.
But if the code were available... then you could quickly test out if something is worth pursuing.

So another way of handling this to contribute advancement at scale is "exercise left to the reader", and then we readers should publish too. R&D in big tech should contribute as academia does. We have our "Chief Scientists" and "Principal Engineers" titles that recognize, essentially, a tenure track, that should be on the merits of publishing code implementing new techniques.
