No, that's not what every programmer is doing.
Most programmers write their software to use a commercial file sold by a licensed reseller, or they use it for themselves only. There are many people on PA who wrote software which reads BRIS, DRF, HDW or TrackMaster files, or which they keep to themselves.
Its also not his decision to give away or sell data, even if derived from the original source. It is a violation of the terms of use of the data to create something from it for anything other than personal use without a license to do so.
