Even more noticeable is this little statement from the paragraph that follows the bullet list:
"Simple. In fact, though, */_a surprising amount of data isn't linked in 2006, because of problems with one or more of the steps_/*. This article discusses solutions to these problems, details of implementation, and factors affecting choices about how you publish your data."
The statement above simply reiterates what should be obvious i.e., there isn't enough Linked Data on the Web. It has/had nothing to do with RDF.
For those who care, there is a Semantic Web Application (SWAP) [1][2][3], and in classic dog-fooding fashion, it is documented using an ontology. The ontology describes the Semantic Web platform.
The Web is inherently modular, and there are no defensible arguments for compromising its core architecture and vision.
