Because those are primary sources while wikipedia only allows secondary ones (IMO the biggest mistake, as it allows the HUGE bias it has)

An expert can write an article and cite the correct sources to go along with it. If anything, the fact that they are an expert makes this easier.

No. But it expects experts to still provide citations and sources when writing articles (and not to excessively self-cite)
