Because that is what talk pages are for.
A template in an article is ten times more effective than the same template on a talk page.
{{fact}}
Right. You wouldn't put {{fact}} on the talk page, now, would you?
Because fact contains a waring element for the reader that someone finds the info questionable (personally I wouldn't put it in an article either mind)
You also need to consider any advantages as balanced against the downsides. After all something in sitenotice would probably be even more effective.
What are the downsides of templates in articles?
Wasting the reader's time and bandwidth. Making the article unreadable on mobiles and breaking up the article while in no way providing a service to the reader.
