- The failure may be a sore-spot for those involved, so they might not want to do a postmortem. - Unless insiders are willing to speak up, there may not be too much to be said from the outside. - A lot of start-ups that fail are uninteresting.

I agree that there are a lot of interesting things to discuss regarding failed start-ups, though.
