Whose incentive? All the major drugs are generic now and (at least my) insurance pays for them without even asking for a co-pay.

That's fair. I know a lot of generic drugs are imported too, so maybe there isn't much pressure within the USA there. Unless the big domestic pharmaceutical companies are still making a lot of money on it even if generic options exist? I don't know.
