Having stuff open might allow users to break DRM schemes more easily. Companies hate it if you break their DRM, because of contracts with the content industry.
Secondly, having code open makes it easier for patent aggressors to spot potential infringement.
So in order to keep attack surface small, companies prefer to keep stuff closed.
