Probably because it's not.

I don't see how it's difficult for users to participate now.

The format which suits one, doesn't necessarily suit others.
Are you aware of which formats are preferred in the file managers everybody
sets for themselves?
Are they reading via a .pdf viewer, an EPub reader, online because they have
little disc space to spare, because they don't have a printer (unless they
print to .pdf), or any number of other potentials?

I really don't see what's so terminal about it now.
But, to each their own, if you prefer the wiki aspect, why not start one?
The software is available.
