I think you’re projecting an experience you had on one (larger, probably more rigid) site to every site that shares its software.

I cannot speak about every wiki, obviously. It seems to me that there are a lot of users on wikis who pick articles to maintain and resist incorporating the contributions of others into those articles because they have some sense of ownership of the article.
