No, the main reason is that the wikipedia key is still human readable where the wikidata is just an encrypted interdatabase foreign key. I would consider elements exclusively tagged with wikidata as a pollution (or -at least - incomplete constribution) in OSM, like any other unusable 'ref's to external resources. And one of the mentionned example is providing the building operator only through the "wikipedia:operator" where most of the data consumers are simply looking for the "operator" tag. I discover a semantic shift where traditional OSM tags are slowly replaced by wikipedia contributors eyes and habits.
