As discussed in the linked article, it's mostly because of code quality but with a healthy dose of percieved threat to job security. Unfortunately the academic citation economy isn't very nurturing of community codes, so a lot of work gets repeated when secretive research groups compete. That's not the whole story and the fact that this article is getting published speaks to that, however I still don't think it's likely that things will change in the short term. My friend Matt Turk wrote about a similar topic recently: http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.7064
