"The culture of CS, "judgmental introversion" as you put it, is not anything intrinsic to CS. Indeed, software engineering is a profession that demands a high level of communication and cooperation."

Why do you ascribe the ability to communicate and cooperate to people who perpetually reinvent the same stuff all over again and aren't bothered by it in the least is beyond me.
