In a word: necessity.

Wireless markup language was originally devised in an effort to create a markup language that allowed wireless devices to surf the web even though they didn't possess the processing power required to make HTML and CSS rendering practical. At the current point in time, WML (and the Wireless Application Protocol that spawned it) has largely fallen out of favor. Modern mobile devices have the power to render standard HTML 5 and CSS.

Mathematical markup, on the other hand, is still required by the same minority segment that originally pushed for it. Standard HTML does not make it easy to produce things like long division examples, nor does it make complex equations required by heavy sciences like economics, physics, chemistry, or computer science simple to understand. MathML makes those kinds of equations far easier to write, and far easier for the consumer to understand.
