In particular, IPCS-related code tends to be adept at avoiding being tested with the traps. Since such code does not require authorization, and can be run on any supported release via STEPLIB/TSOLIB, it tends to get done on what you might call a development system. But since development is our business, we consider those to be production systems, and the systems programming and operations is contracted out to IBM Global Services, and so we don't activate the traps on those systems.
