I think you hint great points especially with "People are lazy". The semantic web was a great idea, but in the period from 2000 to 2010, people advertized it as a kind of AGI that would solve all hard problems with junk data. It is still used in biology, for example in Gene Ontology [0] but the main use case (People are lazy) is "If your research cannot find interesting stuff, just query Gene Ontology".
