No, the main reason is that the wikipedia key is still human readable
where the wikidata is just an encrypted interdatabase foreign key.
I would consider elements exclusively tagged with wikidata as a
pollution (or -at least - incomplete constribution) in OSM, like any
other unusable 'ref's to external resources. And one of the mentionned
example is providing the building operator only through the
"wikipedia:operator" where most of the data consumers are simply
looking for the "operator" tag. I discover a semantic shift where
traditional OSM tags are slowly replaced by wikipedia contributors
eyes and habits.
