The BadgerBots (1306) hands out a packet of information on the importance of scouting and how alliance selection works. I don't know if there is any causation, but this year at Wisconsin I don't believe there were any alliance captains that didn't know how it worked or seemed confused.
I think one of the bigger issues with teams not scouting is that they simply lack the manpower (enough scouts at the event and enough time to plan a system out before hand). I know we have offered to and have scouting with other teams at events and it seems to be benifical for both groups, especially a smaller team who now has access to a great scouting database.
