Agree. OTOH WP is a reference site. There will be many people who come to WP with the aim of looking up some one thing. This gives a natural pattern of short visits, not surfing around. The overall reach shows the users who arrive knowing they want to look something up, plus the input from search engines. We shouldn't get too hung up about the number of page views. If people find what they want on the first page they view, so much the better.
For me, page views are working about 2/3 of the time and edits are working not very often. So I wouldn't be so blase about the numbers ... Do we have any numbers about requests made vs requests served? I assume the devs are *painfully* aware.
