Probably because you are unfamiliar with the technical challenges and
compromises involved in running high traffic websites.

Even with an unlimited budget you would see these kind of things, and
with as cost conscious as the Wikimedia infrastructure the traffic
levels that they become necessary at are far lower.

Wow. You didn't know about that?

We really need to solve these communications problems because it's
utterly miserable that we've got people complaining that we need X
when they aren't aware of the kinda-X that we already have. This seems
to happen very frequently :(
