I wholly agree with you, and on the other hand have seen enough researcher code that I know why they don't share it. Usually it's such bad quality, hammered by multiple students to get to some goal, that by the end I was surprised they even trust the output. Publishing would at least make them know from the start this will have to be open sourced and probably even increase the success rate of research by improving coding standards.
