A straight answer: DBT's are strong evidence not all components sound different & most manufacturers don't like that

The great difficulty audiophiles have differentiating among electronic components and wires when they play music at the same volumes with the brand names hidden ... is strong evidence contradicting the unproven golden ear belief that all components sound different.

An informed customer would be much more likely to spend his upgrade money on better speakers and room treatments that have audible effects on the sound quality (in both blind and sighted auditions).

Less upgrade money would be spent on electronics, and especially wires, because differences are so easily imagined, or small SPL differences are mistaken to be meaningful sound quality differences.

Only transducer manufacturers would benefit from blind tests ... and since there are no arguments over audibility of differences among speakers and cartridges, why should they bother proving what everybody already believes?
