It's basically what Ava stated 2 pages back. We'd just continue to ignore the 'outside the game' portion while give them some actual usability as alternatives to pull from eternity and riftsweeper. However those two cards barely see play as it is, so I do not see what the point of doing a blanket errata would fix.
it actually captures the original intent/use of the wishes, and harkens back to the pre-exile days.
That is not strictly true either. Mastermind's Acquisition came out well after Coax from the Blind Eternities and it does not have the 'from exile' template... so that blanket errata would potentially cause new cards to play differently in EDH than they do anywhere else for no real reason.

I can only assume that it became too wordy and/or wasn't worth the hassle. Or maybe someone just forgot or it made an actual difference in standard at the time?
But it's fair enough; i've not got an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the wishes in the game let alone all cards. I just assumed that it was the case. To be honest, I've always wanted to make Ring of Ma'rûf work in EDH (note that back in the day, referring to outside the game was so out of whack, they put everything in italics!!). ages back, i had a friend who'd swords to plowshares my only serra angel (and probably my only real wincon). I figured it's a sure-fire way to make sure i'll always have my awesome-sauce card on me. Fast-forward some number of years, and I'm still trying to make that work!
