It's easy to conflate Wikipedia and Wikimedia but they are very different things, both in practice and in legal definitions. Lots of comments here are saying that Wikipedia should do something about this. That's equivalent to saying that you should get thousands of random Internet people to agree to something. There is no organization known as Wikipedia that you can appeal to.

So, then they say, "Wikimedia should do something." Wikimedia has very limited control over the content that exists on Wikipedia and this ruling relies on and validates that position.

I'm not arguing that this is ideal or preferable. I'm saying that the lines between these two words are important and yet sometimes difficult to define. The crux is that Wikipedia is wholly separate from Wikimedia in all the ways that matter in a case like this.
