It's been discussed previously both on this list and elsewhere, but for better or worse the Wikimedia Foundation has an entire "Mobile apps" team that pretty much exclusively works on closed platforms, as I understand it. They've gone as far as to abandon Gerrit in favor of GitHub.
For the record, it's just the iOS team that moved to Github. Android is still in Gerrit. The iOS move was for CI reasons (summary: we (WMF RelEng) can't support the OSX platform for build and test cases with any ease, especially vis a vis other priorities).
