As much as I agree with the sentiment, we have to admit it isn't always practical. There's only one LIGO, LHC or JWST, for example. Similarly, not every lab has the resources or know-how to host multi-TB datasets for the general public to pick through, even if they wanted to. I sure didn't when I was a grad student. That said, it infuriates me to no end when I read a Phys. Rev. paper that consists of a computational study of a particular physical system, and the only replicability information provided is the governing equation and a vague description of the numerical technique. No discretized example, no algorithm, and sure as hell no code repository. I'm sure other fields have this too. The only motivation I see for this behavior is the desire for a monopoly on the research topic on the part of authors, or embarrassment by poor code quality (real or perceived).
