There are many practical reasons to limit the scope:
* keeping at least minimum quality standards
* avoiding abuse by storing your files disguised as some "knowledge". At some scale the organization is not able to check even for a trivial instance of abuse.
* abuse legal problems by publishing illegal content (again, nobody will be able to do even basic checks if there's no limit)
* if anything goes, you get limited by physical needs like storage
> If you must, layer curation of what is notable on top of that.
Wikipedia is the curation. Store the non-curated data elsewhere.
