Perhaps this is an oversimplification, but could the difficulty with sustaining interdisciplinarity just be another manifestation of the basic economic principle of specialization and trade?
As Omar's musings imply, it is arguably far more effecient, and profitable, to specialize in a particular discipline than it is to attempt interdisciplinarity.
