A benefit of sites like Grokipedia is that you don't have to worry about editors going on strike and acting malicious towards the encyclopedia. Humans are not safe to trust with such power.

>They can afford six engineers.

This is a common misconception. Just because a company has millions or billions dollars, that doesn't mean it makes financial sense to spend it on hiring people.

>Wikipedia is not a website.

Yes it is. It operates at https://www.wikipedia.org/

>The encyclopedia belongs to everyone. The labor that sustains it deserves the same protection.

It makes no sense to license labor under the CC 4.0 license.
