Is there legitimate reason it would not be more beneficial and easier to simply set up something like irc.wikimedia.org and host it in-house?

Plausible deniability. As long as the channels stay on freenode nothing that happens there can be blamed on the foundation.
And also, I suppose: As long as the wikimedia-related channels stay on 3rd party servers our human resources are not scattered trying to fix irc while the site is down.
