RTFA. MP3 has been a free format for over 6 years.

Does every desktop Linux distro include MP3 support in the base system? How many of the audio files on Wikipedia are older than 6 years old?

Linux users are self-selecting. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for everyone, not tech enthusiasts who decide to pick software that doesn't support an extremely common, non-propriety (!!!!!!) file format.
