So perhaps we can say:

Reason #5: In scientific research the sharing and reproducibility of methods and results is essential. Open-source software and standard formats and interfaces provide the broadest means for the distribution of analytical procedures and data, and therefore the greatest opportunity to ensure their accuracy through review by other scientists and to become the foundations of new and collaborative research. It can also provide a low-cost way to verify calculations made by proprietary applications.

That said, open _interfaces_ are helpful indeed as they allow to extend
software. This is also where the value of standardized interfaces comes in, an
overlap in interests (and benefits) actually. Finding appropriate abstractions
for establishing/advancing such standards is a good field for scientific research.
