Failed projects are not published because nobody has the time. Paying for a few months of writing would recover years of otherwise lost work.
Every lab has unpublished null results from completed projects: a hypothesis tested carefully that did not hold. The cost of writing them up is a few months of a postdoc's time with no career reward. A funder programme offering short 'completion grants' conditional on deposit in a negative-results venue would recover this work at very low cost per result.
