Researchers get paid to get great papers published in renowned conferences or journals. This is the metric of success that will be used against them. No papers in top conferences, you are done. Peer review instead is basically on a volunteer basis. Your company won't fire you for not reviewing for this or that conference.
So, these researchers are doing what they can without jeopardizing their careers.
If you have a better idea on how to push for openness in research that does not involve self immolation I think it might be very well received.
