Word wrapping a field means that different rows will have different heights, which in turn means that calibre would have to calculate the height for every row individually in order to layout the book list and that would cause performance to become unacceptable for larger libraries. Indeed, very old versions of calibre used to do this, but it was removed for performance reasons.
