Your surprise breaks my brain. Why would someone "keep it to themselves" outside some white paper they won't have time to promote or for a job interview that they might not need?
Is your thought that it is some novel approach that nobody is doing and has obvious market implications? Even then, the implications matter only if you are in a position to take advantage.
The Internet used to be a place people shared cool shit because it was cool, not for some monetization scheme or personal gain beyond the joy of sharing. Content creators (as a job) and hustle culture are a blight.

- _yb2s 2y agoAs I'm sure you're aware deep learning work better is the most hot and highly funded thing right now... there is nothing wrong with making sure you get the credit for a new technique, and it in no way precludes widespread free sharing of the idea. I am an academic researcher (not in this field) and everything I do is 100% free and public, but I still either patent or publish it, because getting the credit is what allows me to keep doing what I love. I actually hate that part, and would rather just do the work, but I already push that line too far sometimes, and risk losing my funding aka "publish or perish."
