The question I'm raising is if we accept mail on wikipedia.org and if we do, why we use wikipedia.org instead of wikimedia.org which is more frequent domain for mail and which will make more sense for global setting applicable to literally all projects WMF run.

As I understand, wikipedia.org still technically works as a domain for email, mostly as a holdover from the really old days (I'm talking like 2003). So I think the most likely explanation here is that this field was never updated and there was never a reason to if the address still technically works.
