DBpedia actually has no data, we provide tools to more effectively use OTHER PEOPLE'S DATA, e.g. Wikipedia.
Here is an image of the maximum size of the new scalable and actually bulk downloadable DBpedia via Databus in let's say one or two years:
With Download As Wikidata Q's and P's Option.
It's there, just hard to download in bulk.

Sure, but I think that this is not clear to many people who are currently using DBpedia as a dataset (even if only for testing/research
purposes). Also, there would surely be value in analysing the differences more closely. I agree with you that quantitatively, Wikidata might be orders of magnitudes ahead. Yet, there can still be individual
bits of information that are in DBpedia but missing from Wikidata so far.
For example, DBpedia EN has 32 people educated at the University of Leipzig, whereas Wikidata has 1217. Nevertheless, there is, for example, John Henry Wright (Q6238997), who is known to DBpedia but not to Wikidata (yet). Such cases might be worth systematic weeding out so that we can really come to the point where Wikidata is a strict superset of all (correct) data in DBpedia.
