Because there's still no good exabrain. Notes.txt quickly becomes an unsearchable, undiscoverable mess of crap; wikis are hard to maintain and too heavyweight; desktop wikis never really work right and usually have shit mobile experiences. In the meantime, to remember a fact for the rest of your life, you need to add it to the SR deck and spend 30 seconds in the rest of your life reviewing it. Spaced repetition is a clear win; any attempt to resist it is madness. Imagine being able to just keep everything in RAM and never, ever touch disk.
