For me, mostly due to keeping things in one[0] place. It's easier mentally to keep team pages and project pages (where project pages are more sensibly on mw.org) together since our teams are heavily technical/based on MediaWiki development.
Yes, I think it's reasonable for software development teams (*not* all teams) to be on MediaWiki.org, since it's the home wiki.
Also, it is cultural because if we put a lot of stuff on the foundation wiki then we explicitly divide ourselves and our projects from the rest of the community. This is not a long term positive step to take :)
Yes. I would oppose putting it on Foundation Wiki, even if it's supposedly a team-only page. There is definite overlap between technical pages and team pages. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Collaboration/Team/Processes .
[0] Yes, we also have some technical documentation on wikitech wiki, but that is mostly due to 2 reasons. 1) a controlled wiki for the management of WMF Labs users and 2) a separate wiki (hosted on different hardware) that will not inherently go down if the rest of the wikis go down.
It is also supposed to be for things that are WMF-specific (e.g. exactly which machines we have and what they do); this distinction (versus MediaWiki.org) dates from before Labs, but is not perfectly implemented.
