It is going to be a lot easier for WP to improve article content, in areas where it actually has some welcome competition, than it is going to be for those rivals to import into their site the necessary redirects and so on, to give the navigational smooth ride.
Why should only Wikipedia be able to do that?
The advantage of numbers. If I'm looking for information on a random historical figure mentioned in a book I'm reading and I can't find it, I can search Google for alternate names, then add the appropriate redirect to Wikipedia. I can't add redirects to Britannica.
