Science has a long history of secrecy and non-collaboration to be honest, like you say, especially in the money-making areas such as medicine and technology. Such is the ways of humans and money. But...
Like other posts say, science relies on peer review to validate results and make sure they are true/not-a-hoax, etc.
On a more social note, science is surposed to be for the betterment of mankind, and is the only thing, well, specifically Physics, that has the potential to save us from the end in about 80 years, so...we are all going to end if we don't work on it...so why not team up and survive together?
