I see MediaWiki as much more than the software that

The core MediaWiki developers traditionally don't. MediaWiki was built
to run Wikipedia, and only incidentally runs other people's wikis.
Changing that significantly would require the expenditure of
(inexistent) developer resources while bringing no benefit to Wikipedia,
and so hasn't been pursued, nor is likely to be pursued by the core team.
