The data isn't vandalized either, but we don't have too many vandals around anyway. We used the Lua-based system with the Beyond Earth game, which "luckily" didn't receive that many updates after all, so not a lot of data had to be updated. With the numerous updates of Civilization VI it would have been a different thing, but there we reverted back to the normal wiki method of not having any kind of centralized data, as the centralized data is way too dependent on a particular editor being active to update it. (The method was, to be exact, to automatically generated the required Lua data entries directly from the game's own databases, whose format unfortunately it's not optimal for querying in the wiki.)

As for the bottom line, I think people just aren't aware of SMW-type of solutions. If there was an easy way to do that, I think a great many wikis would benefit from it.
