I'm not so sure you get the point. The point of a wiki is not that anyone can edit it. That's merely a property, a method to accomplish something.
The wiki is for something. That something is to build an interrelated foundation of references and facts. That anyone can edit is merely a means to get there. The misuse of editing at least-worst, impedes creating that hyperlinked mass of information.
And no, you have the spammer thing backward, entirely. That anyone can send something to someone else is a merely a property of email. The point of email is communication that people want. And so the misuse of "sending a message to anybody" is that it can get in the way of communication people do want.
Nobody said any of it should be "set in stone," good grief. We're a month past November 5th, let's put the strawman away. Engage with some of the examples provided by people of bad actors for some good faith discussion.
