That’s because most of that 50 years was spent talking about it, not 
actually doing it.

I think the problem is pretty much solved now. Open Source has become the 
established way to develop most parts of the software stack (except 
perhaps the most specialized bits at the top). And code reuse follows very 
naturally from the ability to share, modify and redistribute other 
people’s code.
