The pendelum swings back and forth. At the moment, companies have been 
getting bashed when they make an effort to make data available and then 
researchers spend their efforts to de-anonymize the data.

Companies still spend a lot of money and hire research companies to 
analyze the data privately; its just not worth the hassle of releasing
it publically or giving it to academics for free.
