How does that affect third-party use of MediaWiki where people aren't able to (or just aren't wanting to) install bespoke services?
It doesn't. There is no plan to strip MediaWiki of its existing capabilities or to make it depend on this service. And since the intention is to improve existing quality of service (as opposed to providing new functionality), I don't expect the feature-set to diverge.
