Madoka had the opportunity to remove all the negative aspects of the Magical Girl system by telling Kyuubey to make her an omnipotent god and then changing whatever she wants in the Universe. However, she decided to solve only a single problem by becoming a pretty much useless force of nature.
Kinda foolish, if you ask me.

She couldn't remove the system entirely, if Kyubey is to be believed. The reason is that it would send humanity back to the stone age. The next best solution would be to remove the worst consequence of the system, which is becoming a Witch. This doesn't remove the point of the system, which is to collect energy for the universe, nor does it remove the problem of what happens when you run out of magic (death), however the new system is far preferable to becoming a monster and killing the people you were trying to protect.

Sayaka can't wish for what Madoka wished for because she didn't have the natural talent Madoka had. Even in the other timelines, Madoka eclipsed the other girls, even Mami, in raw potential.
What Homura's time loops did was create the potential for Madoka to wish for something so powerful it could warp reality itself. It's possible she always had this potential but "squandered" it in previous loops by making "smaller" wishes. It's the culmination of events in this timeline that really create the wish Madoka made, simply put she had the benefit of seeing firsthand the consequences of the system before she made her choice, which she didn't have such knowledge of in previous loops.
I would argue however that all of the girls, due to their intertwining fates, grew stronger as a result of Homura's loops. The problem with Sayaka is that Homura had become so isolated and focused on rescuing Madoka that she miscalculated that Sayaka would contract as well. Remember that Sayaka doesn't contract in every loop, so it was more logical for Homura to worry about Madoka than Sayaka. This nearly backfires on her a few times in the anime, as Kyubey then tries to use Sayaka to get Madoka to contract. Once that fails (because of Sayaka becoming a Witch), he then switches to directly appealing to Madoka's compassion (the entropy speech) even though we see in one of Homura's loops he couldn't care less about what happens to any of the girls or humanity itself.
