Such a biased and utilitarian view. The goal of publishing is to communicate your findings to the scientific community for the sake of advancing our knowledge as a society. Of course you might want to keep _some_ of this knowledge as trade secret, but then don’t claim you are doing research. You are advancing your shareholder’s interests, not that of the broader society.
