It can also be helpful to prioritize CHA if you're playing the character for a specific small group purpose. But again, that's not what most Clerics are trying to do in the game.

That's the most important bit. Yes, charisma is useful to a certain subset of players. No, it is not and never will be the primary statistic for the large majority of clerics. As such, wisdom should be recommended, rightly, as the class's primary attribute. No single recommendation can encompass all individuals, especially not in a game as loosely-tuned as this one where quite often multiple tactics can achieve success. Excceptions always exist and that is a strength of this game, not a weakness--we don't need to be cookie-cutter. Charisma is a fine secondary statistic that can be of primary importance to some players.
