In theory your point seems to have merit, but I wonder what would happen in practice if we were to change the license, assuming a new license has the same 'freedom' objective but is better suited to our purpose.'
Lest you actually try this, it remains a pointless theory. You could just as well say "what would happen if pigs could fly". So to get from theory to reality, I suggest you make a try. Take a copy of Wikipedia's contents and release it on your own website under another license that you think is appropriate. Go ahead.
