I'm an outsider but it seems to me the difference between academia and opensource/hobby forums is massive:
In opensource the attitude is "See bug? Send a PR!"
Whereas academic papers are like publishing software into a blockchain (and not source but binaries, i.e. PDFs full of shortcuts): you don't want for people to easily find bugs and contribute fixes, so you handwave a lot so that no one can reproduce your exact thing.
