Regarding RMS's statement that fair use materials

of the fact that what counts as fair use for one user in one context
may not count as fair use for some other use in some other context.
Can somebody please explain to me why we, the editors of Wikipedia, should
be bothered about any context other than Wikipedia? I want to make the
WIkipedia as good as it can be, and if that involves using fair use
materials, then so be it. If somebody who makes a derivitive work from the
Wikipedia can't use our fair use materials as fair use because, say,
they're charging $50 for whatever product they've created, then I couldn't
care less.
I'm probably misunderstanding something.
