I thought the question is what the *readers* want.
We don't have the resources to find out (I mean, do we do an Internet poll to find out, what?), so we'll probably have to stick with what the writers are willing to contribute.
And even going from your perspective, waving around the figure of 1 billion+ people in China doesn't work that well. How many of those 1 billion+ people have frequent access to a computer, to the net? And can find their way to the wikipedias?
I don't know how to find out, but there is a possibility that the percentage of Cantonese/Yue and Wu speakers who have frequent access to the net is higher than the purely Mandarin speakers... Because some of the fastest growing/most developed regions are Guangdong and Jiangsu province. And Jiangsu is specialising in computer chips, etc.
