What is the value in adding YAML atop an Azure DevOps Wiki page's markdown, as supported by its markdown syntax: Syntax guidance for Markdown usage in Wiki, YAML tags?
It seems to offer nothing more than an alternative syntax which which to specify tables. Perhaps more elaborate tables but they'll only render atop the page. What am I missing?
As the introduction in the document,
Any file that contains a YAML block in a Wiki is processed by a table with one head and one row.
So, I think the value of YAML tags in the Wiki markdown is to convert the abstract YAML statements into a visual table on the Wiki page to increase readability and quick understanding.
Especially for a complex YAML block that may contain multiple items or multiple sub-items, the YAML tags should be very helpful.
[UPDATE]
I find an issue ticket (MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs#9976) reported by another user on the GitHub repository "MicrosoftDocs/azure-devops-docs". This issue has reported a similar question.
And in this issue ticket, you also can see @amitkumariiit has given an explanation:

I am going to propose my own answer. It just occurred to me that this is likely intended to replace markdown, not to be used with markdown. That is to say, to support documentation written purely in YAML. That could make some sense, add value for some, and explain why it's ONLY supported atop the page. You use it instead of the markdown, not with the markdown.
The documentation just doesn't make it clear why/how you might want to use this feature.
