Sadly enough.

The problem is that many of Wikipedia's editor teams are not politically diverse. And some, based on my limited experience, seem totally nonfunctional and dominated by trolls.
Maybe polarization does generate high-quality articles about popular topics. But for topics that aren't so broadly polular, toxicity and edit wars seem more likely.
