My use case for webID is pragmatic :

I have to create a regional SSE (social and solidarity economy) directory aggregating data from several partners sites.
The goal is to have a transparent synchronization flow on all sites : if you're responsible for one organization listed on any of the sites, you should be able to edit its description or phone number, either on the main site or on one of the satellite/partner site.
 
Here comes WebID : if you have an account on any of these sites, you can then log into any other partner site and edit your record right away, we know you and we know you have the right to edit this record.
(You'd want to do that because, for example, the "sustainable development" partner site will have some specific information fields you can't fill anywhere else, and you want your org. info to be complete on this particular site)

So here the incentive is that you're invited to use more than one site, and all the sites are really different, but it can be complementary to use more than one.
The first you use is your "home site", giving you your first URI.
(Nothing prevents the educated user to get his own personal URI later...)
