Today I am working from my netbook. It is not so easy to find the right button and the screen is small. I wanted to upload 20k logo for new Wikipedia edition (in Banjar) [1]. I wanted to find the right copyright tag (logo is trademark of WMF). So, I clicked on "Permissions" link, instead on question mark. When I went back all of the form was blanked.
I guess you are right, that the Wikimedia bureaucracy can be improved although I have no actual ideas how to do it. But I don't think that your example with Commons upload is a good example. This behaviour certainly is a total failure in usability (I never experienced the problem because I use the classic uplaod form). But the problem is not conflicting design goals of developers and Commons admins. It's just some error in the Javascript. The error can be fixed and the upload form should work as expected. If anybody knows where in the code the form blanking happens please report it so it can be fixed.
There are other issues besides JavaScript. I needed 15 minutes to upload image (after the initial problem) not because JavaScript problem, but because of not various requirements which are not well defined.
