I didn't follow the links yet. But I'm sure Kingsley means popular such as to

Why "inevitable?"

People make their webpages available b/c the benefit of being "heard" by a wider audience is worth the cost of admission.

The cost/benefit picture for creating RDF for the consumption of others isn't as clear.

The HTML involved very minimal effort in order to participate.

Perhaps a useful question to consider would be comparing the effort in the average webpage versus Linked Data or RDF or RDFa?

Such a study may already exist and if so, I would appreciate a reference to it.

Hope you are at the start of a great week!

Am I right that algorithmic based social networks intervened in what might have 
been a more straight forward uptake?
I think we need to be clearer about the differences between machine curation on 
the basis of algorithms run on huge data sets and machine curation on the basis 
of type categories.
We need to know the both the means and intentional ends of both approaches.

Kingsley,

An idea being "popular" doesn't mean that it is feasible or even desirable.

Fascism for example. Quite popular a number of times in history.

Hope you are at the start of a great week!

Amen!

cc. some other mailing lists where members continue to be challenged about 
uptake of at least one of the following:

1. Linked Data
2. Semantic Web Project deliverables and their adoption beyond niches.
