A single Wikidata link is not "complex".

Your claims of "outright misleading info" are based on a
statistically-insignificant handful of edge cases examples. Would you
be happy with other projects dropping links to OSM based on a similar
sample? I'm sure OSM has as many, if not many more.

Each of those examples is easily fixable.

It is not.
