Because if there was an enormous desre and urge, there would have been big push from communities to implement it. (And no, it does not depend on Wikidata, like interlanguage links were not.) The key words are "not disapproved". Nobody said "invalid", nobody said "disapproved". The bug on Bugzilla <http://bugs.wmflabs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708> has **91** votes. So I would contend that in fact the feature //does// have consensus for implementation across-the-board. >> Sister project links were added as a beta feature cross-wiki; all beta features are opt-in; the implication of which is that it was indeed opt-in to start. > > I don't remember any post asking single communities for their consent. AKA if it is opt-in, how come it is enabled on wikis which diod not have any discussion about it thus couldn't give a green light to it? Let me rephrase, since you may not have understood what I was referencing. At Special:Preferences, there is a Beta tab. (This is also exposed in the user-header at the top of every page view.) In that Beta tab, there was "Show interproject links", to which editors could opt-in. It was not-only announced, but apparently, thousands of users opted in, which is extraordinary reception for most beta features (per Nemo at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103102#1893580). This discussion is largely moot, but in general, do your research before making incorrect claims of fact.
