I’d say this is very much on purpose (I worked there for two summers, also with one of the people in this thread). DESRES is very, very particular about the papers it puts out, so, while there is an incredible amount of great science with brilliant people who were mostly poached from academia, only the very top papers ever get published. Many more are written or kept as internal documents, but the firm is very particular about only publishing very impactful research.
Unlike in academia, there isn’t a push to publish only okay or average quality research since funding is not public and there are no metrics to push.
