Because Wikimedia is not a free hosting service for just any wiki idea and
Wikicities already exists to fill that role. Concentrating development energy
into our existing projects and staying on mission are more important than 
budding-off new projects to the degree suggested, 

As Jimmy said, if any Wikicities project is viable, willing, and would help
advance Wikimedia's goals, then we, as a community, could decide to bring them
into our fold.

That is what test.wikipedia.org and any number of other MediaWiki-based sites
that the developers already use.
