The licenses and retrofitting features cost money, which is doesn't generate back with ads or promotional opportunities. Ad buyers are scared off by offensive lyrics.

Nobody thinks "let's go to a wiki for lyrics", they google it. And as barely anything is original content, their SEO is horrible. The competition is better, and not held back by the constraints of MediaWiki. Because LW is the biggest wiki on the network, it tanks overall SEO. It's a business decision. Of course LyricWiki is the biggest Wiki on FANDOM! I almost shed tears after seeing the banner on LW.
