The “hard enough” tasks are all behind IP walls. If it’s a “hard enough” that generally means it’s a commercial problem likely involving disparate workflows and requiring a real human who probably isn’t a) inclined and/or b) permitted, to publish the task. The incentives are aligned to capture all value from solving that task as long as possible and only then publish.
