It's a thing called a "wiki" ...

If there's a particularly good version of an article, that version will
always be in the history and can be linked to directly.

The quality vs content thing tends to go: OK article is polished into
really well-written article. Someone adds something which is arguably
relevant but looks lumpy in the structure. So the article has more detail,
but is only good as opposed to great. Polish again to great. And so on.

As much as it pains me, I suspect more good information is better for the
reader than beautiful composition, given the choice.
