YES YES YES!
However, the current priorities of the Wikimedia Foundation do not include
that line of inquiry.[1] I think that is a very big problem.

https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Vote:Narrowing_Focus Whether that properly
characterizes the shift in priorities is probably
open to interpretation, but I think that's a separate debate that would
be best for another thread. At the strategic level in which this
discussion operates, though, certainly all areas are open to exploration.
I also don't believe that social and technical aspects can always be
neatly separated. I'm guessing you don't either, but avoiding it
becoming a dichotomy is one reason I'd rather this not become an
exercise in choosing sides just yet.
