Because it’s not suitable for machine-processing of employee data. This belongs in a database, Active Directory, or HR software. Do you also do payroll with wiki pages?

Not everything should be suitable for machine-processing. A certified MS professional should administer Active Directory. HR software should be paid for and learned how to use it first.
On my second startup we payrolled via Google Spreadsheet. By the way, it is also an okay storage for employee data.
I suppose I'll confess that you are correct, this approach is totally viable at smaller scales. I've just seen what happens in a large business context.
It's above all, a security nightmare, since the wiki pages are perpetually out of date and incomplete, and it makes the process of thing like provisioning and deprovisioning access so labor intensive.
