When initialising UCI engines the GUI sporadically fails to allocate the requested memory for hash tables. UCI engines are at a disadvantage in engine tournaments at short time controls, because the clock starts before the initialisation is complete. But even if Chessbase's UCI implementation did work correctly, it's a matter of principle. There's a high quality engine being tested by CSS - a magazine that has close ties to Chessbase - which has never been made available to the public, as far as I know.
