The Foundation didn’t request the site. We, the Wikitravel and Wikivoyage participants did!

You have the order of operations wrong. WikiTravel’s community ASKED the Wikimedia Foundation to create a site. We requested it. The Wikimedia Foundation accepted once convinced it was viable. You make it sound like poaching, but it’s more like accepting a gift from a neighbor.
