In some cases, I agree but they create too many issues in my view. Their sheer size means that if you have multiple navboxes on a single page (like many ethnic groups do), it becomes incredibly confusing. There’s also the extreme differences in quality between different nations, the Wikipedia style are much easier to create a bare minimum version of for countries which lack detailed information and they require much less maintenance (no flag updates for example).
