I think it solves a real problem. I work at a large company, with many data silos. I’ve had to hire armies of interns to match in merge data over the years because it wasn’t possible to automate the merging of data from different databases. I agree with your other points though, people have a hard time understanding it, and the community hasn’t really shown the value. My hobby project is an effort to show the value, but it’s not ready to share yet. And yes, there’s a lot of confusion things (URI vs URL, dereference or not) that the community hasn’t done a good job articulating a happy path. There’s another you didn’t mention, there’s an impedance mismatch between triples and resources. One is property oriented, and the other entity oriented, and they dont’ always play nice together.
