My view is that there is a big problem with this for industrial use of Wikidata.

What is the biggest problem I see in Wikidata? It is the poor organization of the Wikidata ontology. To fix the ontology, beyond doing point fixes, is going to require some commitment from the Wikidata community.
I agree. And I think the best way to achieve this is to start using the ontology as an ontology on wikimedia projects, and thus expose the fact that the ontology is broken. This gives incentive to fix it, and examples as to what things should be possible using that ontology (namely, some level of basic inference).
