Why isn't it enabled for all Wikipedias?
Because when the feature was set up, it was the ultimate move in a long controversy. Adding this new feature was done solely on needs expressed by the english wikipedia. The feature was made customizable to allow local decisions to use it or not. I think that most would now agree that this has been good, and should be made default everywhere. In particular because history of the feature set up being lost, some wikis do not understand why it does not work for them :-)
