DeWitt clauses have spread outside of databases too, unfortunately. John Regehr got a nastygram from Coverity/Synopsys when he tried to post static analyzer benchmarks (not even his own; the benchmarks were done by researchers at the Toyota InfoTechnology Center):

This has effectively dissuaded me from trying to perform benchmarks of Coverity and other commercial tools using LAVA [1], so I can attest to its chilling effect.

That sounds like something SciHub would be very useful for --- "the benchmarks they don't want you to know."

Sure, someone could post a paper like this anonymously. But anonymous papers don't benefit from all the incentives of the standard academic publishing system.

As a fun aside, here's an example of one of the few fully anonymous papers I know of:
