No, not really. No WYSIWYG necessary.
In Thomas's reply, reader refered to a random passer-by, editor to someone who edits the page.
Fred's reason is probably the biggest one. If line breaks were taken litterally, the article may be as wide as the edit box (which is probably bad practice).

I'm not sure I follow the replies so far, they seem to assume something more complicated... It's literal line breaks, WYSIWYG. Assuming this is in the Wiki edit box: Line 1 Line 2
Then this is the default result I don't want: Line 1 Line 2
I'd rather have: Line 1 <br /> Line 2
