The reason for this is that like in a paper dictionaray we only want correct spellings and an incorrect spelling should result in a "not found" message.
In the US, and probably in other places where spelling is not phonetic, one of the most common uses for a dictionary (if not the most common) is to find what the correct spelling of a word is. If there is not "spell check" in the form of redirects or see-unders, then the Wiktionary is useless for this.
Only as useless as a paper dictionary already is.
