Sure, but each individual conference can't be expected to do more to solve that
than offer the speakers to host slides if they wish to share them.

Considering the amount of effort and energy the community spends on arranging
conferences where said teaching can take place I think "wasting" is a strong
word.  However, I don't disagree that it would be good if we had a larger
collection which spans multiple events, but I don't think the wiki solves that
problem.  Personally I'd prefer if they were linked to under a more prominent
source, like https://www.postgresql.org/docs/online-resources/ or an
equivalent.
