It starts a discussion, for one.

For another thing, the answer the other person seeks may not be as easy as a simple wiki page.

I was curious about that last week for some reason but I didn’t really have time to look it up and now I saw it in the feed.

I like what the original commenter did. Pointed to the resource and pasted the relevant answer. Now we can learn two things.

Yeah we might as well shut the community down if questions and discussions aren’t welcome. I never understood this viewpoint on places like reddit or lemmy where it’s the whole reason for being here.
