Why?

Collapsible stacked sections (accordion-style layout) only make sense for some
skins, and just like a tabbed layout, an accordion-style layout has its
advantages and disadvantages; I see no reasoning that this would be any better
in general. If anything, which particular method is used should be determined
by the skin, because that will be the determining factor as to what layout will
be most appropriate.

Accordion-style, for instance, would make perfect sense for MobileFrontend and
is indeed already widely used for pages in general; tabs make sense for skins
like Wikia's which implement consistent vertical tabbed/list navigation, where
the respective height on the page indicates the scope; and skins like MonoBook
and Vector, which just have navigation all over the place, can't really do
anything that will make sense because nothing makes sense already.
