This not only makes it more difficult to analyze where problems come from (potentially even finding and reporting complete solutions), but is also considered bad practice by many people here.

True - the author could share the source with other people under an NDA.
Of course, at least in the USA, there has to be a "business relationship" (usually shown by an exchange of money) between the parties to make the NDA enforcable.
Just publishing under an OSI approved license is much easier.
