By user level customization it is possible. I think providing such a feature by default, in wiki level, in projects like wikipedia is a bad idea because each file page contains much more data than a pop up layer can afford. Unlike facebook or google plus, only relevant and properly licensed pictures, remain undeleted in wikimedia projects. So all informations present in media pages, including license, category, included pages, details about the file, etc are important for an encyclopedic project. So current style file pages are not replacable (atleast for now). Still user customization possible for those who not interested in such details.
I think that answers my query pretty well
Hey, that's just one opinion :)
I think that it's a pretty good idea. It just need the right design. I see no problem at all with showing the image like in Google+ with the license fine-print under it.
The wikitech-l and foundation-l mailing lists are the best places to discuss it. And maybe also the Village Pump of Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:VP
