I'm with you to an extent, but why do you think Wikidata in particular will be the missing component and not some other service like Freebase or DBPedia?

I don't really. Substitute any free body of structured data for Wikidata, or even view them as one body of data, which happens to be spread across multiple servers (and maybe requiring some translation for unification).
