I agree that it's a bad practice not to use a wrapper but it seems most people who use PHP took mysql for granted and haven't used any wrappers in their code.
Anyway the kind of wrappers commonly used to help separate out mysql/pgsql/mssql code probably will not be able to make full use of the new features available in mysqli. There's going to be a hell of a lot of conversion work ahead and not all of it can be automated.
