Both Wikipedia and Stack Overflow just have a few dozen fast servers despite being some of the world's highest trafficked websites

The entire content of the wikipedia fits in a pen drive.

Streaming video is a lot more expensive than text and images.

That is just the text content, Wikipedia has pictures and videos as well. Not to mention the other Wikimedia projects

I doubt Wikimedia streams even 0.1% of what netflix does.
