I'm at least ambivalent about a general purpose encyclopedia having whole categories of articles that are mostly only accessible to specialists. In an ideal world, there would probably be a companion "Mathepedia" or something along those lines with a different target audience. But, of course, Wikipedia doesn't really have the concept of a specific reader persona like a conventionally edited reference does.
I'm ambivalent too, i.e., I agree with your original comment but also, personally, frequently find Wikipedia's "general purpose encyclopedia for specialists" useful.
FWIW, there's Simple Wikipedia (https://simple.wikipedia.org), but it is, quite frankly, terrible for learning about anything of a mathematical nature beyond high-school algebra.
Perhaps Wikipedia should add a "Learn About This" section to math, physics, engineering, and hard-science pages?
