OTOH, we have lots of feature requests which are unlikely to be implemented, and closing them all and explaining why we won't implement the feature(s) will not only take a lot of time, but might also cause unpleasant reactions from a small minority of users (I remember a user who once told me that I suffer from "lazyness and lack of immagination" after I explained why I won't work on his wish). Therefore, I think it's sometimes easier to just keep the wish open. Another benefit is that other users can then find that report better and provide feedback or express their support at some later point.

Ok thanks for the explanation! I will keep the wish open ;)
