It's been discussed previously both on this list and elsewhere, but for better or worse the Wikimedia Foundation has an entire "Mobile apps" team that pretty much exclusively works on closed platforms, as I understand it. They've gone as far as to abandon Gerrit in favor of GitHub. I agree with the general sentiment of your post, but the issues here are deeper.
