The reason is quite simple. **We don't have enough people for more than one community**. Also, a *lot* of people interested in one language are already bilingual or are interested in more than one language. By having a supersite, we increase the pool of answerers for any given language.

Secondly, I think that your assumption that questions about languages and questions about linguistics are mutually exclusive is quite off. Linguistics is, quite simply, the study of language, so it makes little sense to separate the two except for traffic purposes - and if we get to that point, I would propose using Codidact categories rather than a separate site.
