That would lead to the situation where links to Simple English wiki and to 
English wiki are indistinguishable. Which is not good.

This is that task.

That has no relation to RDF export and thus outside of the scope of this task.

When it would be fixed, we can consider revisiting this code and if the fix 
allows to remove the special cases then they will be removed. However, since 
that ticket seems to be open since 2012, I'd rather fix the RDF export now 
(which otherwise will be confusing for third party users - the main audience of 
the export) than wait for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T43723.
