Why would anyone want to do this? Because we can???

Do you even realize how much power you're taking away from the community by creating a new system from scratch optimized for just a few use cases, instead of building it on top of the existing platform?

I'm sorry for you if the WMF put you in a situation where you must build a tool that can't be up to users' expectations with the resources you've been given. But you should at least understand where the inevitable backlash will come from when this limited system is imposed upon the editors that grow accustomed to a much more powerful, if clunky tool.
