One, different audiences -- sharing via a link, embed, or image are simple, consumer-mapping oriented tasks of the sort where OSM has some overlap with other map providers, while export is for the more technically inclined (and what differentiates OSM). Two, sharing is scale agnostic, while the export provided by osm.org works only for small areas. By separating them, I gained space for the export pane to provide information about bulk downloads: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/98601/940876/1cfb5cfa-0137-11e3-823d-914c1a079692.png
