The core problem is the fact that Wikidata is poorly organized as a community and project. Per overall a big part of the work done is inefficient and counterproductive. At least the descriptioning part could and should be optimized. There are many users who acts just like bots, and using mass-editing tools on their own they add just by one description in a single language to series of items consisting of tens of thousands of items. For last month there are 4 human users who together made 3 Millions of edits by adding just descriptions in their native languages (one user in 10 days made over 900,000 edits to add descriptions). I can show you some large series of items where each item has over 50 consecutive edits made by one user in a short time span just to add descriptions in several languages. I'm pretty sure that for our 30+ Millions of items we don't want by 200+ edits for each item just for addition of descriptions.
