That's because WAV files were never intended to contain metadata, and any support for it is a lousy hack, just like with ID3v1.  Many of the lossless codecs do support metadata.  Not to mention that the data you can get from the CDDB is so skimpy that you can easily contain it in the filename, even if you went with one that didn't support metadata.  And the ones that do support metadata could contain more information that could be gleaned from the CDDB, thus preventing reentering that information every time.
