I said usable, not complete. But regardless. Its not hard to recover
if someone can fit it in, and if they cant, them it stays hidden like
it should. There's no downside to wiping these sections.

Wikipedia is a work in progress. Often the random bits of information
that appear in a "trivia" section are things that will _eventually_ fit
into a better-structured article, but if the article isn't developed
enough yet they may not fit _right now._
Declaring trivia sections to be "Bad" and deleting them out of hand is
likely to throw away raw material that would be useful in a more
finished article.
You can thank us for the usable encyclopedia
later when you figure it out.
Deleting something that's currently incomplete doesn't increase the
encyclopedia's overall completeness.
